CHICAGO - One person is in custody after fleeing the scene of a traffic crash, where weapons were later recovered, early Sunday in the Gold Coast neighborhood.
A male driving a Chrysler sedan, just after midnight, failed to stop for a red light in the 800 block of North Michigan Avenue and struck a yellow cab taxi and a black Chevy Malibu in the intersection, according to Chicago police.
