Car crashes into building after driver shot in head on Chicago's Southwest Side
CHICAGO (CBS) — A car crashed into a building after the driver was shot in Chicago's Gage Park neighborhood on Tuesday morning.
Around 5:20 a.m., Chicago police said a 57-year-old man was driving with a 24-year-old passenger in the 3100 block of West 59th Street when shots were fired from inside a gold sedan.
Police said the driver was shot in the head, causing his sport-utility vehicle to crash into a building and a parked car.
The driver was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn in critical condition.
The 24-year-old passenger was not injured by gunfire, but was taken to the same hospital for evaluation in good condition. Unconfirmed police dispatch reports indicate the two men in the SUV were father and son.
No arrests have been made. Police are investigating and searching for the shooter.
The building was significantly damaged from the crash, and debris was visible on the street. Cleanup crews said the building houses an accountant's office. They were working to board up the front wall as late as Tuesday afternoon.
