The policeman afterwards discovered that the stolen Kia had collided with a Ford Taurus that was carrying a 71-year-old man.
The individual was extricated from the vehicle and transferred to a medical facility, where he was declared dead.
Fire Chief Nick Malley Sr. from the Robbins Fire Department told CBS Chicago, "We were the first arriving unit
and found one vehicle with substantial damage in a ditch with a person still inside the vehicle."
