CHICAGO (WLS) -- Five police officers were taken to hospitals after a police vehicle rear-ended another Saturday in Englewood.
The two unmarked CPD units collided about 2:45 p.m. as they headed west in the 700-block of West 72nd Street, Chicago police said.
The officers were taken to nearby hospitals with injuries not believed to be life-threatening, police said.
It was not immediately clear how or why the crash occurred.
Two unrelated crashes involving Chicago police squad cars took the lives of bystanders earlier this summer.
