A person attempting to elude police in an SUV crashed into multiple parked vehicles Friday afternoon in the Southwest Side Gage Park neighborhood.

Officers attempted to stop a Chevrolet Suburban about 4:25 p.m. at the intersection of 52nd and Western, and the SUV drove away, according to Chicago Police.

During a chase, the SUV struck multiple unoccupied vehicles on 58th Street between Honore and Wolcott, police said. No one was injured.

Someone then jumped out of the SUV and attempted to run away before being taken into custody, police said.

The person was released without being charged with a crime, police said Sunday morning.

No love for new Bears stadium from Illinois' top Democrats
Echoing previous public statements, Gov. J.B. Pritzker — noticeably absent from the Bears unveiling — again brushed aside the latest proposal, which includes more than $2 billion in private funds but still requires taxpayer subsidies, saying it “isn’t one that I think the taxpayers are interested in getting engaged in.”
