A man was injured Sunday night in Chicago’s Lakeview neighborhood after a two-vehicle crash sent one car crashing into a CTA bus shelter where he was standing. The incident occurred around 10:38 p.m. at the busy six-way intersection of West Belmont Avenue, North Ashland Avenue, and North Lincoln Avenue.
According to police, a 19-year-old driver traveling south on Ashland Avenue attempted to turn right onto Belmont Avenue when his white SUV sideswiped another vehicle heading west.
