CHESTERTON — The driver of a Cadillac that crashed into multiple cars in Chesterton's downtown area, injuring the 2-year-old improperly fastened in his backseat, is likely to be charged with multiple felonies, police said.

The Times is not naming the suspect because he has not yet been formally charged and is not in police custody.
