Lake in the Hills police said the black Acura SUV with a “ROUTE 66″ license plate used during the police chase was identified as stolen and suspected to be recently involved in criminal activity.
The vehicle fled south on Crystal Lake Road as police tried to stop it at Hilltop Drive and Crystal Lake Road, authorities said.
While traveling east on Algonquin Road east of Pyott Road in Algonquin, the lead squad car performed a “precision immobilization technique” to direct the Acura off the road, Lake in the Hills police said.
The Acura went off the road and struck a light pole, causing damage, police said.
