       "An auto was driving at a high rate of speed and hit some pedestrians that were crossing the street," Fire Chief Juan Hernandez told The Chicago Tribune.

       "All I hear is a screech and I turn around behind me, and the officer is laying there, they're all trying to get to the other officer. It was weird. He was just laying there screaming, like, whirling around in pain. And I just see a lady fly in the air because he hit the lady so bad. And she fell down," China Robinson told CBS Chicago.
