RACINE, Wis. (CBS 58) -- Police say a man is in critical condition after driving into Racine City Hall Saturday, Aug. 5. 

Officers were on foot in the area just before 6 p.m. when they saw a Dodge Charger fail to stop at a stop sign near 10th and Villa.

The officers returned to their squads and attempted to stop the vehicle, but police say the car continued to travel at a high rate of speed, going through several more stop signs in the residential area. 

Eventually officers lost sight of the vehicle, and moments later, it was reported that a Dodge Charger crashed into City Hall. The driver was trapped inside the car and had to be extricated by the Racine Fire Department. 

Officials say the 58-year-old man driving the vehicle was taken to Ascension All Saints before being airlifted to Milwaukee with severe injuries. 

Authorities say the damage to City Hall was substantial. 

Anyone with additional information is asked to contact the Racine Police Department Investigations Unit at 262-635-7756, or to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 262-636-9330.
