The Cicero spokesperson said CPD found the sedan and tried to stop it. But CPD said the sedan, which was traveling westbound on Madison Street, hit the passenger's side of a black pickup truck, which was heading northbound on Oakley Avenue. CPD said the sedan's driver and another person inside fled the scene on foot, but a Cicero spokesperson added that its police officers were able to take two into custody, one of whom is a known Cicero gang member. The pickup truck's driver, a 57-year-old man, suffered blunt-force trauma to his body and was transported to Stroger Hospital in serious condition.
