CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) - Two Illinois state troopers were slightly injured while trying to stop the driver of a stolen car Tuesday afternoon on the South Side.
State police were involved in traffic patrols on the Dan Ryan Expressway Tuesday afternoon when they spotted a black BMW reported stolen in a carjacking about an hour before. They flipped on their flashing lights and the car sped off, exiting at 47th Street.
The BMW got stuck in traffic at 47th and Wentworth, so a couple of state troopers approached it on foot, but, when traffic started moving, the stolen car started moving, hitting a state police squad and causing the troopers to jump to avoid being hit.
The car was eventually found on 41st and Federal, and a juvenile was arrested.
