Police say the suspect stole a vehicle at gunpoint across the state line before he led officers on a pursuit that ended with him being shot and plummeting down a nearly 30-foot embankment off the interstate.
Indiana State Police say the 18-year-old Chicago man was shot on Interstate 80 in Gary and then jumped off the 30-foot Cline Avenue bridge embankment before he was taken by a lifeline helicopter to a Chicago-area hospital.
Troopers responded for the call about 3 p.m. While searching for the vehicle, they were notified the suspect got out of a 2010 Chevrolet Impala and took the 2010 Chevrolet Malibu from a female driver at gunpoint, according to ISP. Around that time, Lake County Sheriff's police patrolling Cline Avenue near 45th Street in Griffith found both the Malibu and Impala. Police tried to stop the drivers, at which point they fled north on Cline Avenue, police said.
Meanwhile, state troopers and Sheriff's police continued to chase the Malibu's driver onto I-80 westbound from Cline Avenue to Indianapolis Boulevard. The car finally became disabled when it crashed with an ISP vehicle, causing the driver to lose control and hit a concrete barrier.
