An off-duty Chicago police officer was killed when he crashed his SUV after speeding away from a traffic stop in Arlington Heights early Monday, authorities said.
An officer from Rolling Meadows noticed the officer’s Toyota 4Runner speeding on Algonquin Road just before the border with Arlington Heights around 1 a.m., police said.
The officer tried to pull over the 4Runner, but the car sped north on Wilke Road, Arlington Heights police said. The officer did not pursue the car, police said.
When the 4Runner reached Kirchoff Road, it left the road and struck a utility pole, sending the car across Kirchoff Road, tumbling “end over end” into a backyard in the 600 block of south Reuter, police said.
