The Chicago Tribune reported:
A police officer responding to a burglary call was injured in a traffic crash in the Logan Square neighborhood this afternoon, authorities said.
The officer, whose age and sex were not released by police, was in a squad car that collided with another vehicle near Sacramento Avenue and George Street about 1:15 p.m., said Chicago Police Department News Affairs Officer Veejay Zala.
The victim was taken to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center in serious-to-critical condition, a Chicago Fire Department spokesman said. Zala did not have details on the officer’s injuries but said no one else was injured in the crash.
