LANSING, Ill. -- A police chase spurred by a carjacking on the Near North Side ended with two suspects dead in a river on the Far South Side early Saturday, authorities said.
Three others were in custody following the pursuit of the stolen vehicle on the Bishop Ford Freeway near Lansing, according to Illinois State Police.
Three people were taken into custody, but two jumped into the Little Calumet River, state police said.
Chicago police deployed a marine unit about 5:10 a.m. to search for them, officials said. They were recovered shortly after, taken to a hospital and later pronounced dead, police said. Authorities have not yet identified them.
