The Bishop Ford Expressway was shut down Thursday afternoon as police investigated a shooting and traffic crash in which no one was hurt.

Officers collected 14 shell casings from the northbound lanes of I-94 near 103rd Street, according to Illinois State Police.

The shooting happened about 10:50 a.m., but police were not alerted of it until about 3:30 p.m., state police said.

One vehicle involved in a crash at that location was damaged by gunfire, but state police said its two occupants were not cooperating with police and would not offer details about the shooting.

A man in the vehicle told officers that he was involved in a crash with a white car that left the scene, state police said. No one was injured in the crash or the shooting.

Northbound lanes of I-94 for closed for an investigation between about 3:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m., state police said.

State Police were investigating the crash.

A 30-year-old woman was killed and her two young daughters injured when a pickup truck driven by a man with opioids in his system plowed into their car on the Northwest Side, Cook County prosecutors said Thursday.

Bat Ulzii Baljinnyambaa, was sitting between her daughters’ car seats in the back of a Toyota before the crash around late Monday afternoon, the Chicago Sun-Times reports. The mother and the children, ages 3 and 6, were on their way to buy clothes for a wedding and the start of school, Assistant State’s Attorney Jamie Santini said.

As the family’s car headed west in the 6100 block of West Gregory Street, an eastbound 2019 Dodge Ram driven by Gerry Machalek veered from the westbound lanes, striking the Toyota and sending it spinning onto the parkway, Santini said.

Machalek’s truck rolled over and skidded onto its roof. Baljinnyambaa died of injuries she suffered in the crash. Her 3-year-old daughter suffered cuts to her face, and the 6-year-old broke her right arm. Baljinnyambaa’s cousin, seated in the front passenger seat, suffered internal injuries, and another cousin, who was driving, suffered bruises, Santini said.

Data obtained from both vehicles showed that Machalek’s pickup was traveling at 47 mph, and the car carrying Baljinnyambaa and her family was going 30 mph seconds before the crash, Santini said.

Machalek also tested positive for opioids and anti-anxiety medication when he was taken to the hospital, prosecutors said.

When Machalek shuffled into court Thursday, he was bent 90 degrees at the waist, and appeared unable to lift his torso high enough to look at Judge John Fitzgerald Lyke Jr. Defense attorney Sam Amirante said Machalek suffers from severe scoliosis — a curvature of the spine — and multiple other conditions that require him to take a long list of prescribed medications, including the opioid painkillers that were found in Machalek’s bloodstream in the hospital tests.

Machalek has an “injection pump” for doses of morphine, and also takes additional “morphine tablets” for pain, Amirante said.

Lyke ordered Machalek held on $250,000 bail for aggravated driving under the influence and reckless homicide.

A man was shot to death last week in a road rage incident on the Southwest Side.

Marquist Boyd began arguing with a 22-year-old man following a traffic incident in the Lawndale neighborhood, according to Chicago police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

Boyd, 43, was allegedly armed with a baseball bat and, sometime during the altercation, the 22-year-old pulled out a handgun and shot him in the head, authorities said.

The incident happened about 9:44 a.m. on Aug. 24 in the 2200 block of South Kirkland Avenue, police said.

Boyd was taken to Mt. Sinai Hospital, where he was pronounced dead the next day at 5:12 p.m., the medical examiner’s office said. He lived in the same block where he was shot.

Officers detained the 22-year-old after observing him in the 4300 block of West Cermak Road, police said. Charges were pending.

LINK TO DECISION

A federal judge on Thursday upheld an assault weapons ban in Cook County.

A decision in the case “Wilson v. Cook County, et al.” was made in favor of Cook County by Judge Manish S. Shah in the Seventh U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

The Illinois State Rifle Association had backed a challenge to the county ordinance that bans the possession, use and sale of assault weapons and large capacity magazines, the Cook County state’s attorney’s office said in a statement.

The rifle association claimed the regulation violated the Second Amendment, the state’s attorney’s office said.

The state’s attorney’s Civil Actions Bureau argued against the challenge, claiming the ordinance protected Cook County residents form the treat of mass casualty incidents posed by those weapons and accessories, the state’s attorney’s office said.

The judge ruled that the plaintiffs “have not come forward with a compelling reason to revisit our previous decision.”

State’s Attorney Kim Foxx said in a statement that “Assault weapons and large capacity magazines are designed to kill in mass and have no business on our streets.”

“Public safety is our top priority, and we were proud to defeat the gun lobby’s challenge in court. While we are pleased with today’s decision, we anticipate that this will be appealed to the Supreme Court. If it is, we will be ready,” she said.
