Driver facing charges after crashing into ISP vehicle on South Side

A man has been charged with multiple felonies after he crashed into an unmarked Illinois State Police vehicle during a chase Saturday night in the West Englewood neighborhood on the South Side.

Lamont Cathey, 21, faces four felony counts of aggravated fleeing, and one misdemeanor count of criminal trespass. He was also issued numerous traffic citations, according to Chicago Police.

Officers came across a stolen vehicle at 8:09 p.m. in the 7100 block of South Claremont, police said. After noticing the officers, the driver of the stolen vehicle, later identified as Cathey, drove off.

During a pursuit, the stolen vehicle struck an unmarked state police vehicle, police said. Cathey was taken into custody and taken to Holy Cross Hospital for treatment.

The male driver of the police vehicle was taken to Little Company of Mary Hospital with minor injuries, police said.

Cathey’s bond was set Wednesday at $50,000, according to Cook County sheriff’s spokeswoman Sophia Ansari.
