A 23-year-old woman and an 8-month-old child were taken to a local hospital, treated and released.

The suspect, identified as 36-year-old Bernard Crawford from Lemont, was reportedly observed fleeing in a Jeep. Authorities stopped the vehicle in the 300 block of Schmidt Road, but it drove off, police stated.

The vehicle then went north and then east on Boughton Road; police did not follow the vehicle, police said.

The Jeep then passed through the intersection of Boughton and Delaware Circle, driving east in the westbound lanes, police said.

The vehicle struck another head-on, police said.

A woman and her 3-month-old child were in the other vehicle.

Both remain hospitalized Wednesday.

The mother suffered significant injuries, but remains stable. The baby is in critical condition, but also stable.

Two other vehicles were involved in the crash, but no one was injured in those vehicles.

When crews arrived at the scene of the crash, one vehicle was on fire.

Crawford was taken to a local hospital and later released into police custody.

He is being held in Will County Jail, and faces charges in the domestic battery and crash.

Police initially said four people were injured, two critically, in the crash.
