nwherald.com A 19-year-old man briefly gained
entry into a Cary police car after
fleeing the scene of a one-vehicle
crash Monday afternoon, police said.
Charges are pending against Tyler
Shaw, of West Dundee, after he fled
into the Greenfields subdivision
when the vehicle he was driving
struck a tree about 2:20 p.m. at the
intersection of Cary-Algonquin Road
and West Main Street, according to a
news release.
When he saw that police had
located him, Shaw took off and
eventually found the vehicle of one
of the three officers involved in
the foot pursuit, police said.
As Shaw tried to drive away, one
of the officers held the gear shift
lever to keep the vehicle in park,
said Officer Geoff Witherow of the
Cary Police Department.
Shaw was taken to the Cary Police
Department and later transported to
Good Shepherd Hospital in
Barrington, according to the
release.
Witherow said no alcohol appeared
to be involved in the incident. It
is unknown why Shaw fled the scene
of the crash.
