The westbound lanes of the Eisenhower Expressway at Cicero Avenue were closed this afternoon after a crash stemming from an incident where a Chicago Police bike patrol officer was hit by a vehicle on the West Side. A vehicle struck the officer, who is at Loretto Hospital in stable condition, and then left the scene of the accident, heading east in the westbound lanes before crashing. Check here for updates before heading out this afternoon.
