1 in custody after police chase car through north suburbs on I-294, I-94

A driver was taken into custody after a long, slow-speed police chase through the north suburbs on I-294 and I-94 Wednesday morning.

Bensenville police said officers were called to a physical therapy business in the 400 block of Irving Park Road Wednesday morning for a report about a suspicious car in the parking lot. The vehicle, a gold Lexus, fled when officers arrived.

Police said they tried to stop the vehicle but it sped away. About an hour later, police patrol units found the vehicle again in a Jewel-Osco parking lot on South York Road.

Officers again tried to take the driver into custody, police said, but the man rammed a Bensenville squad car and then sped off north. Bensenville officers gave chase.

While pursuing the car, Bensenville police said they learned the Stickney Police Department was also looking for the driver in connection to a similar incident in which he allegedly rammed a squad car before fleeing.

Police chased the car from York Road to I-90 and then onto I-294,police said.

CBS Skywatch was over the scene as the car was pursued by at least three black police SUVs, with more police cars a ways behind, apparently controlling the long line of traffic that was stuck behind the chase.

During the chase, the car sometimes slowed to a near-crawl before quickly picking up speed, putting distance between the drivers and the officers.

Bensenville police said officers used four sets of spike strips and were eventually able to deflate the car's tires. It kept driving north until it came to a stop near mile marker 13 on I-294 around noon.

CBS Skywatch was over the scene as police surrounded the vehicle and took the driver into custody, without incident.

No further information was released. Police did not identify the driver or say if any charges had been filed or were pending.
