Update: Chicago Police Sergeant hurt in crash

Authorities hit a Southwest Side man with felonies and numerous traffic citations following a crash that seriously injured a Chicago police sergeant, police said.

Rolando Robledo, of the 6000 block of South Mozart Avenue, faces both felony aggravated DUI and misdemeanor DUI charges in connection to the Wednesday morning crash near the intersection of 59th Street and California Avenue, police said.

The officer's vehicle collided with a green Ford at about 2:22 a.m. at the Chicago Lawn intersection, police said.

The officer was admitted to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn in serious-to-critical condition, though authorities said he was improving.

                                 

Authorities initially believed that the sergeant suffered only minor injuries, but later found more extensive injuries internally, authorities said.

Robledo was treated at Holy Cross Hospital. Robledo was issued several tickets, including criminal damage to government property, failing to reduce his speed, driving on a suspended license and disobeying a traffic signal.
