A Chicago police officer, 7-year-old girl and two others were taken to area hospitals after they were struck by a vehicle Saturday evening in the city's Near North neighborhood. The incident unfolded at approximately 8:07 p.m. when a Chicago police sergeant conducted a traffic stop near Grand Avenue and State Street and asked the driver of a red Honda to exit the vehicle, according to police.
