CHICAGO RIDGE, Ill. (WLS) -- A 16-year-old boy is in very serious condition after what police are calling a road rage incident involving two cars and three people in Chicago Ridge, officials said.

A fight broke out at 106th and Ridgeland in the parking lot of a liquor store Friday night, police said, prompting one vehicle to chase the other to a BP gas station down the street. The 16-year-old victim exited his car and allegedly jumped on the hood of the other car with a baseball bat, police said, and the car allegedly drove away with him still on the hood of the car.
