Chase involved at least 5 armed in stolen Rolls Royce on Bishop Ford Expressway, Illinois State Police say
LANSING, Ill. — A police chase spurred by a carjacking on the Near North Side ended with two suspects dead in a river on the Far South Side early Saturday, authorities said.
State troopers and Chicago police went after a white Rolls Royce about 4:40 a.m. after being notified of an armed carjacking in the 18th District, which runs from the Chicago River north to Lincoln Park, state police said.
The chase continued, but ended soon after when the vehicle crashed at 127th Street and Indiana Avenue on the city’s Far South border.
Three people were taken into custody, but two jumped into the Little Calumet River, state police said.
Chicago police deployed a marine unit about 5:10 a.m. to search for them, officials said. They were recovered shortly after, taken to a hospital and later pronounced dead, police said. Authorities have not yet identified them.
