The police followed the vehicle that was believed to be driven by Simmons, the suspect. After that, the vehicle that was being pursued did a U-turn onto Route 83, which prompted the officer to switch on his emergency lights and sirens.
Allegedly, the car picked up speed and continued driving, eventually reaching speeds of up to 70 miles per hour in an area where the speed limit was 35. After a high-speed pursuit involving numerous law enforcement agencies and a helicopter from the Chicago Police Department, the vehicle was found in the area of Central Park Avenue and Harrison Street in Chicago after it had been pursued there.
