CHICAGO — A police chase ended in a five-car crash on the Eisenhower Expressway late Thursday.
The incident started with a shooting: At 5:03 p.m., a 20-year-old man was standing next to a car in the 3100 block of West Arthington Street when someone got out of a car and fired shots at him, police said. The man was hit multiple times throughout his body.
