An argument in the Back of the Yards neighborhood ended violently early Saturday when someone allegedly drove into a crowd, injuring two people.

Following an argument, a man crashed a blue minivan into a group of people about 12:45 a.m. in the 4500 block of South Morgan, according to Chicago Police.

A 26-year-old woman and a 20-year-old man were both taken to Stroger Hospital, where the woman was listed in critical condition and the man’s condition stabilized, police said.
