The officers were responding to a call of a man with a gun about 3:25 a.m. when Briscoe allegedly struck their vehicle in the 5100 block of West Madison Street, Chicago police said.

The officers were hospitalized with injuries that were not considered life-threatening, police said.

Briscoe was taken into custody and treated for injuries at Mount Sinai Hospital, police said.

She was also issued two traffic citations in connection with the incident, police said.
