It happened Wednesday evening, in the city's Chatham neighborhood

CHICAGO, IL – Five people were injured, three critically, Wednesday evening due to a two-vehicle collision in Chicago’s South Side, according to the Chicago Police Department.

The accident unfolded in the 8000 block of South Dr. Martin Luther King Drive, near East 80th Street, at around 8:23 p.m.

While officials have not yet been able to determine the cause of the crash, preliminary details indicate it occurred while one vehicle was turning at a four-way intersection, in a 25 mph zone.

A total of five people were reported injured, and two of those patients sustained injuries described as “incapacitating.”

The wreck also resulted in over $1,500 of property damage.

No information regarding potential charges has been made available at this time.
