A car crashed into a business after being shot at in the South Loop Saturday night.

About 11:28 p.m., people in a grey Infinity drove off a gas station lot in the 1000 block of South Desplaines Street and were eastbound when someone in a green SUV opened fire, Chicago police said.

The Infinity struck the side of a business and came to a stop, police said. No one was injured and the occupants of the car ran off.

Area Central detectives are investigating.
