Three people were hospitalized, including two police officers, after a vehicle crash Tuesday in West Town.

About 12:25 a.m., the on-duty officers were stopped in a southbound left-turn lane in the 300 block of North Western Avenue when they were rear-ended by a 2017 Chevrolet Impala, Chicago police said.

The Chevy hit the rear right side of the police vehicle and flipped over, police said. The two officers and the 32-year-old man driving the Chevy were taken to local hospitals and have been stabilized.

Citations are pending, police said.
