4 pedestrians struck by vehicle, 3 killed in South Shore crash that may have been intentional, officials say

CHICAGO — At least four people were struck by a vehicle — possibly intentionally — in the South Shore area Sunday morning and three of the four later died at an area hospital, Chicago police said.

Authorities were called to the 7000 block of South Jeffery Boulevard around 5 a.m., according to an online statement from police. A sedan had been traveling south “when it struck four adult male pedestrians,” authorities said.

A graphic video posted online by CWBChicago appears to show the crash. In it, a white or silver sedan is traveling at a high rate of speed toward a group of six or more men standing in the street, possibly arguing. The sedan careens into the group without slowing down, sending some of the victims hurling through the air, as far as roughly 30 feet.
