CHICAGO — Two men and three women were injured by a hit-and-run driver Friday night while they were dining at an outside patio in the Old Town neighborhood on the Near North Side, Chicago police said.
About 10:30 p.m., officers responded to a traffic crash and found multiple people hit by a vehicle in the 1200 block of North Wells Street.
According to police, an unidentified driver traveling south in a silver Lexus tried to pass a white Toyota Prius headed in the same direction.
