A CPD squad car and a CFD ambulance crashed into each other Oct. 19, 2019 while responding to a shooting in East Garfield Park on the West Side.

No one was injured when a stolen United States Postal Service vehicle plowed into a building Saturday evening in the Uptown neighborhood on the North Side.

The vehicle was stolen about 5 p.m. in the 4600 block of North Racine, according to Chicago Police. Minutes later, it crashed into a building in the 5300 block of North Sheridan, and a male suspect ran off in an unknown direction.

No injuries were reported, police said.

No one was in custody as Area North detectives investigated the incident.
