Chicago police are investigating a car that crashed into the downtown studio of WLS-TV (ABC-7) during the top of the 10 p.m. news. No injuries were immediately reported. Just after 10 p.m., a loud noise was heard inside the studio and on the air startling weekend anchor Ravi Baichwal. Baichwal reported on the crash throughout the news cast showing footage of a smashed window and broken glass about 15 to 20 feet away from him. He added that the studio suddenly has a cold draft. The car was reported to be a silver minivan. Chicago police spokesman David Banks had no further information.
