Some Chicago roads were blocked and one person was injured following a two-vehicle crash at a busy intersection in the city’s River North neighborhood.

According to the Chicago Police Department, the crash happened around 3:39 a.m. in the 600 block of North LaSalle Street.

A Chevrolet SUV driven by a 25-year-old man was traveling northbound when it struck a Mazda sedan traveling eastbound, police said. The driver of the Chevrolet was transported to a nearby hospital in stable condition, police said. The driver of the Mazda left the scene following the accident, police added.
