Chicago Heights woman rams two police cars
A woman, whose identity was not available, was taken to St. Margaret Mercy Healthcare Center in Dyer, Indiana after the vehicle she was driving struck two St. John, Indiana police cars on Wednesday.
The St. John officers were on US 41 directing traffic around an accident involving a pick-up truck and a semi truck. Their squad cars were partially blocking the southbound lanes. The woman plowed into the side of one of the squads and continued driving another 100 to 200 feet. She then read-ended the second squad car. According to police, both squad cars had their emergency lights on. One of the police offiers tried to wave the woman away from the accident just prior to her hitting the first car.
She apparently was driving drunk. Information on whether she had been officially charged was not available.
