CHICAGO (WLS) -- Three people were seriously injured in a hit-and-run crash on Chicago's South Side Wednesday afternoon.

Chicago police said a Chevy Trailblazer was driving south on Carpenter when it struck a Chevy Equinox head on at 86th Street, causing the Equinox to roll over into a yard.

A 21-year-old man and two 17-year-old boys were taken to University of Chicago and Christ hospitals with non-life threatening injuries, police said, though they did not release further details about their condition.

The people driving the Trailblazer fled the scene, Chicago police said.
