A woman was charged with DUI after crashing into a Chicago Police squad car early Saturday in the Southwest Side Brighton Park neighborhood.

Cionne Stokes, 30, was driving a 2016 Nissan west at 4:24 a.m. in the 2500 block of West Pershing when it veered into oncoming traffic and hit the eastbound squad car, according to Chicago Police.

The woman was not visibly injured but was taken to Mercy Hospital as a precaution, police said. Neither of the two officers in the squad car was injured.

Stokes, of the South Shore neighborhood, was charged with two misdemeanor counts of DUI and issued numerous traffic citations, police said.
