ISP attempted to stop the truck, but the driver continued to flee.

Posen’s police chief told ABC7 the truck was traveling through Posen near 147th and Western when the village’s license plate reader went off, detecting that the tow truck was wanted in a Chicago crime.

Officers immediately began chasing the pickup, but the driver did not stop, the chief said. The driver continued on a ramp to 1-55.

Posen officers who had been chasing the van saw a helicopter from another police department overhead and called off their pursuit.

The truck eventually crashed on southbound I-55 near Bluff Road.

A brief standoff ensued, and two people inside the truck were taken into custody, ISP said.

Chopper 7 was over the scene in Channahon near Blodgett Road.

ISP said Saturday that the Will County State’s Attorney’s Office approved felony aggravated fleeing/eluding charges against the male driver, whose identity has not yet been released.

Police did not immediately say what Chicago homicide the truck was wanted for.

Lanes were initially blocked, but traffic began moving in both directions just before 1:15 p.m. Traffic was still blocked at 1:30 p.m.

ISP said there is no threat to the community and no injuries have been reported.

Police did not immediately provide other information.
