GARY, Ind. - A Cook County man is accused of crashing into an Uber driver and squad car while fleeing from police in Gary, Indiana Tuesday night.
At about 11:30 p.m., a police officer with the Lake County, Indiana Sheriff's Department attempted to conduct a traffic stop on a black SUV near 44th Avenue and Grant Street in Gary, authorities said.
The driver did not stop for a traffic signal and was missing a working headlight and license plate.
The driver fled at a high rate of speed north on Grant Street, then entered westbound Interstate I-80/94 and traveled toward Chicago, authorities said.
Another Lake County police officer joined the pursuit and followed the driver to the 115th Street exit in Chicago.
At that point, the suspect rear-ended an Uber.
Lake County officers then attempted to perform a Precision Immobilization Technique to stop the fleeing vehicle.
The SUV struck a Lake County officer's patrol vehicle twice and eventually stopped, authorities said.
