Officer Slammed Into Tow Truck On Dan Ryan
CHICAGO (STNG) ― An off-duty Chicago police officer who authorities said had been drinking was badly injured when he drove his car into a stopped tow truck on the Dan Ryan Expressway late Monday.
The crash happened in the southbound express lanes of the Dan Ryan Expressway (I-90/94) near 43rd Street about 11:45 p.m., according to Illinois State Police District Chicago Trooper Ivan Bukaczyk.
The off-duty officer became trapped in the vehicle he crashed into a tow truck, according to ISP Master Sgt. Joe Stangl. A preliminary accident report said the tow truck was parked in the left shoulder, Bukaczyk said.
The 43-year-old officer, whose name was not released, was taken to Stroger Hospital in critical condition with multiple broken bones.
"It appears that the officer exceeded the legal alcohol intake level," Police News Affairs Director Monique Bond said Monday, citing a blood test.
"DUI charges are imminent," Bond said. "However, our concern at this point is for the officer to survive this tragic accident."
Two men in the tow truck were taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where they were treated for minor injuries and released, Bond said.

Anybody else in the world and their name would be plastered all over... Nothing like a little special treatment for the boys in blue.

Yeah, really. I'd bet money he gets the DUI knocked down to reckless driving charge.

Ughh that makes me so mad. If you are going to publish the names of the public you damn well better do the same for the cops. Unbelievable.
