Car crashes into building housing campaign office in Dolton, Illinois, leaving 3 injured
Three people were sent to the hospital early Sunday after a driver crashed a car into a building in the south Chicago suburb of Dolton.
Dolton fire officials said around 2:20 a.m., a sport-utility vehicle speeding west on 142nd Street hit a light pole, and then collided with a building at 14200 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Dr.
The building houses the campaign office of Dolton Trustee Kiana Belcher, who is running for the Cook County Board.
The crash left a hole in the building, but officials said there is no concern about the building collapsing.
"By the grace of God, everyone is safe," Belcher said in a statement. "A car can hit a building, but it can't stop a movement. This moment only strengthens my commitment to stand with the people right where they are."
The statement said Belcher is moving her campaign to a mobile tent.
Three people were transported to the hospital and were expected to recover.
CBS News Chicago has reached out to Dolton police to see if the driver will face any charges.
