UNINCORPORATED GURNEE, Ill. (WLS) — Several individuals, including two children, sustained injuries after a driver was involved in a series of hit-and-run incidents in the northern suburbs on Tuesday evening, according to officials.

The Lake County Sheriff’s Office reported that the driver initially collided with one vehicle, fled the scene, and proceeded to strike several other vehicles at various intersections before deputies could apprehend him.

Deputies initially responded to two hit-and-run accidents near a gas station on Grandwood Drive in the Grandwood Park and unincorporated Gurnee area shortly before 6 p.m.

A deputy later found the vehicle that caused those crashes and tried to stop the suspect, a 34-year-old man of unincorporated Gurnee, but he continued to drive recklessly as he fled along multiple roadways, the sheriff’s office said.

The suspect sideswiped two vehicles at Stearns School Road and Hunt Club Road. One of those drivers suffered minor injuries.

Traffic on Hunt Club Road and Grand Avenue briefly stopped the suspect, and deputies tried to enter his vehicle. But as traffic began to clear, he fled again.

The pursuit continued eastbound and then southbound on Route 21.

The suspect ran a red light at Route 21 and Gages Lake Road and t-boned a vehicle that was making a left turn. Four people in that vehicle, including two children, suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

The suspect then struck another vehicle, which was heading northbound, causing non-life-threatening injuries to that driver.

The suspect’s vehicle continued rolling southbound until a deputy used their squad car to disable it.

Deputies then took the suspect into custody. He was taken to a local hospital with the others who were injured.

Charges are pending, and the Lake County Major Crash Assistance Team and Lake County Sheriff’s Office Technical Crash Investigations Team are investigating.
