By rssfeeds-admin CHICAGO — A woman was injured Tuesday afternoon after she was struck by a car as a group of anti-ICE protestors moved through downtown Chicago.
According to Chicago police, the crash unfolded around 6:30 p.m. in the 100 block of East Monroe Street amid a large anti-ICE protest.
Officers said the victim, a 66-year-old woman, was standing in the roadway when she was struck by an unknown vehicle.
The woman suffered a broken arm and was taken to the hospital, where she was treated and released.
While police have not specifically confirmed that the crash unfolded during the protest, WGN-TV’s cameras were rolling on the scene when a car narrowly missed protesters gathered in the area.
A WGN-TV employee said he saw the car parked first on State and Monroe, adding that the driver appeared to be taunting officers with a can of spray paint before she got in the car and drove through the protest.
No other injuries were reported and no arrests have been made.
An investigation into the crash is now underway.
