Lisle Man Charged With Fleeing Cops In Stolen Car, Hitting Semi

LISLE, IL — A Lisle man faces multiple felony charges after police say he stole a car, attempted to flee from the cops and crashed into the back of a semi. Henry Lange, 54, of the 4700 block of Winchester Avenue, was charged with aggravated unlawful possession of a stolen motor vehicle, aggravated fleeing and eluding, resisting a police officer, driving while license revoked/suspended, reckless driving and illegal transport of alcohol in connection with the Wednesday evening incident.

Police say they first approached Lange in the 5900 block of Route 53 for a report of a suspicious vehicle and discovered the car had been stolen out of Lockport the previous week. According to police, Lange then tried to drive away and ignored their signals to stop, committing "multiple vehicle code infractions."

Lange rear-ended a semi-truck near the 8100 block of Route 53 in Woodridge, police say, and attempted to flee on foot. He was eventually taken into custody without further incident.

Lange is set to appear in court for a bond hearing Thursday.
