An active police manhunt is underway after multiple suspects fled in a residential area from a wanted vehicle that crashed in Highland Park Tuesday evening.
The City of Highland Park said around 6:45 p.m. Tuesday that there was a large police presence in the area of the 300 block of Barberry Road.
The incident was occurring in a residential area between Lake Cook Road and Clavey Road, west of Route 41.
