CHICAGO –  Five Chicago police officers have been injured, two critically, in a crash on the West Side Thursday morning, police said.

The crash occurred at Jackson Boulevard and Francisco Avenue, involving an unmarked police vehicle and a marked squad car. The unmarked vehicle crashed through a fence before striking a tree and coming to a stop.

Both vehicles were apparently in pursuit of a suspect who reportedly fired several shots a few blocks away in the area of Ferdinand Street and Drake Avenue, at about 10:19 a.m.

A number of officers joined the police pursuit until it was called off, reported ABC 7 Chicago.

Two of the officers were transported to Stroger Hospital in critical condition and three others were transported to Rush Medical Center in fair condition, authorities said, according to ABC 7. Fortunately, reports indicate that none of the injuries are life threatening, despite the severity. Specific details were not provided.
