Crystal Lake Police Conduct Crash Investigation
Crystal Lake, IL – On Monday, March 20, 2023, at approximately 12:10 AM, Crystal Lake Police attempted to conduct a traffic stop on a black Chrysler 200 sedan traveling westbound on Route 176 near Commerce Drive.
The Chrysler fled from the traffic stop and was not pursued by the officer.
Moments later the Chrysler was discovered to have crashed into a residence in the 0-100 block of Lincoln Parkway.
The preliminary investigation revealed the Chrysler, that was reported stolen from Beloit, Wisconsin, was traveling southbound on Lincoln Parkway south of Woodstock Street.
The Chrysler left the roadway and caused several collisions that resulted in three vehicles and two residences being damaged.
The occupants of the Chrysler then fled the area on foot and are still being sought.
A portion of Lincoln Parkway was shut down for approximately two hours while emergency crews worked the scene.
No injuries appeared to have occurred during this incident.
The Crystal Lake Police Department wishes to express gratitude to the Lake County Sheriff’s Office, the Algonquin Police Department, and the Cary Police Department for their assistance during the initial response.
This event remains under investigation by the Crystal Lake Police Department.

Well, they gave us the Race of the car.
Fled but not pursued?
Lunch or doughnut break?
“The occupants of the Chrysler then fled the area on foot and are still being sought.”
Sought by whom and what are they looking for? Nice to know they never let the public in on any of this for fear of who knows what? Racism, CRT cards not played right, improper use of a pronoun? 3 guys who will crash a car into a home, hit other vehicles,run from the cops, I am sure would have had no problem breaking into a nearby home and/or just stealing another car–but the cops alert no one in the area with no real helpful information and now ask for the publics help–with no specifics.
Sounds like the illegals are getting close. Keep your powder dry. Lol. Nevermind. Crystal Lake and Woodstock are for drag queens and anti-gun.
Bob Wire understands the keystone kops locally.
Sounds like a shitty department policy to not be allowed to pursue a stolen vehicle.
If it is not a department policy, then the officer should be reprimanded for possible malfeasance, or at least cowardice.
This could have been the active burglary crew that has been wiping out Lakewood and a lot of other communities.
Maybe a bank robbery??
Either way, if you can line up and cite someone during roadblocks, you most certainly should be pursuing stolen vehicles. IMHO.
Most police are lazy, some are cowards, some are very brave, many are venal; in court, so many routinely perjure themselves, it’ll make you sick.
Who the H knows who these guys are?
Transplants or residents from Chiraq?
Or a few from the millions of invaders the moron leader allowed across the southern border and THEN transported these all over the U.S.
Felons, terrorists, drug dealers, gang members, diseased, etc.
Every homeowner and business everywhere, needs cameras running 24/7 to record continuously and when thugs are around, they will be in the video.
Also, hoodies and mask wearing in public ought to be federal crimes.
…and as usual the NWH completely ignores local news.
Less than worthless.
