Three people were injured after being hit by a car Friday on the Near West Side.
A black Hyundai Santa Fe was southbound about 4:30 p.m. in the 100 block of North Halsted Street and attempted to make a green light, Chicago police said.
The driver lost control, swerved into oncoming traffic and hit three people at the intersection before crashing into a parked car, police said.
Two were taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, one was listed in critical condition and another in serious condition, Chicago Fire Department officials said.
Another person was taken in “less serious” condition to Stroger Hospital, officials said. The driver was taken to the same hospital in an unknown condition.
The cars came to a stop just outside of Haymarket Pub & Brewery, with the Santa Fe partially atop a sidewalk.
Jim Dore was in the restaurant when the crash happened, and said everyone inside came out to help those involved.
“It was good to see,” he said.
