6 cars involved in south Side hit-and-run crash: Police

CHICAGO (WLS) -- Chicago police said a car ran a red light and crashed into five other cars in a hit-and-run in Chatham on the South Side Monday night.

A black Ford Fusion was traveling west in the first block of West 87th Street at about 10:26 p.m. when police said it ran a red light and swerved into oncoming traffic. This caused a chain-reaction crash involving a total of six cars, including the Fusion.

The male driver of the Fusion fled the scene on foot and is not in custody, police said.

A 26-year-old woman who was in one of the vehicles was transported to St. Bernard's Hospital in good condition.
