Republican Illinois state Sen. Steve McClure is speeding up the pace in his quest to make area roads safe after a new “Best & Worst Cities to Drive In” 2025 survey placed Chicago near the bottom among the 100 largest cities.

DuSable Lake Shore Drive in Bronzville was shut down due to a multi-vehicle crash, and a semi was overturned in Itasca.

Two Chicago police officers were hurt in a crash in Chicago's South Loop late Saturday. Police said the officers were driving south on State Street at Cermak Road at 9:41 p.m. Saturday when a black sedan slammed into the back of their patrol car. The sedan was making a turn to head west on Cermak Road, police said.
