Chaos unfolded in Belmont Cragin late Monday, as two individuals found themselves in cuffs after an attempted escape from a crash site. The incident, which disrupted the Northwest Side neighborhood, occurred just before the clock struck eleven in the evening, leaving a path of vehicular carnage in its wake. According to the Chicago Tribune, police were called to the 5000 block of West Grace Street where a black SUV had collided with five stationary cars, its occupants—a man and a woman—abandoning the vehicle amid the chaos.

Despite their attempts to flee, the couple were apprehended by the police soon after they had made their flight. The eyewitness accounts proved instrumental, as delineated by FOX 32 Chicago, which recounted a bystander's observation of the pair deserting the battered SUV post-collision, marking their failed endeavor to escape responsibility. No physical harm was documented in the collision.
