CHICAGO (AP) — Authorities say two people including an off-duty Chicago police officer have died following an early-morning crash.
Chicago police say the officer was driving in his personal SUV when it collided about 1 a.m. Tuesday with a vehicle being driven by a woman in the city’s Lawndale neighborhood.
Police say they’re working to determine what led to the crash. They say that evidence at the scene suggests the collision occurred at a high rate of speed.
