A woman was killed when suspected carjackers crashed into her car as they fled Chicago police in Little Village early Thursday.

Four suspects were arrested and are believed to have stolen at least three vehicles before they struck a Toyota driven by 55-year-old Dominga Flores woman at in the 31st and Kedzie around 12:25 a.m., police said.

About six hours earlier, the four pulled up in a stolen pick-up truck at 34th and Claremont Avenue and stole a black Honda from a 65-year-old woman, police said.

They then stole a white Honda from a 25-year-old woman near 21st Place and Wolcott. Later, officers were called when the pick-up truck was set on fire at 34th and Leavitt, police said.

The suspects were seen fleeing in the stolen black Honda. Responding officers tried to stop it but the car continued driving and crashed into the Toyota, police said.

All four suspects were taken into custody and two guns were recovered, police said.
