Two people were hospitalized Thursday after an SUV flipped over in Chatham on the South Side.

The 2005 gray Ford Explorer was northbound on State Street about 1:30 a.m. when it skidded while trying to turn east onto 87th Street, according to Chicago police. The car hit a curb and flipped over, striking a fence before coming to a rest.

A 19-year-old woman and a man in his 20s were both taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center in fair condition, police said. Neither suffered major injuries.

Two more people, a 42-year-old woman and a 39-year-old man, refused medical treatment, police said.

The 42-year-old woman, who was driving, will not be cited because the accident appears to be due to ice, police said.
