April 10--Three people were hurt after a car hit a building during a hit-and-run crash early Sunday morning in the River North neighborhood downtown, police said.
About 12:35 a.m., a blue Toyota traveling west on Huron Street near North Orleans Street failed to stop at a red light and struck a gray Toyota that was traveling north on Orleans, said Officer Hector Alfaro, a Chicago police spokesman.
The gray Toyota in turn hit the Green Door Tavern on the corner of the intersection.
The car pinned two pedestrians, a man and a woman, and the crash injured the gray Toyota's driver. All three were taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital and Rush University Medical Center. Their injuries were not considered life-threatening, Alfaro said.
The occupants of the blue Toyota ran away, and the building housing the Green Door Tavern sustained minimal damage, Alfaro said.
No other information was available about the accident, and no one was in custody as a result of the crash early Sunday.
