Dangerous Stunts Shut Down Eisenhower Expressway — Where Were Police?
The tire marks left behind on the Eisenhower near Racine Avenue were not just from one vehicle. There were multiple cars.
CHICAGO (CBS) — Imagine hopping on the Ike, only to come to a complete stop – not because of rush hour, an accident, or an emergency – but because some people decided to shut the expressway down. On Monday night, a close look at the pavement still reveals some tire marks left behind from a crew of car enthusiasts who took over the Eisenhower Expressway.
Video shows people with their phones in hand standing in the middle of the expressway on Saturday night. People used their cars and blocked all the outbound lanes of traffic to take video of a crew doing dangerous stunts. One person can be heard calling it “funny as hell.”
