Wheelchair-bound-woman-fatally-hit-in-crosswalk-‘looked-out
This is beyond tragic. It's simply horrifying for the fact this driver "ran a stop sign" taking the life of this wonderful person.
There is a "State Law" that drivers must come to a complete stop at all crosswalks when pedestrians are present. I've seen the signs in Oak Park, but have yet to see any in the City of Chicago. There is a school, a block away from my home. There is a crosswalk on the corner of Madison and Monroe. There is no sign prior to the school, just a stop sign further down the street prior to getting too the school, with a crossing guard. Yet day in, and day out, people must wait till traffic clears before using these crosswalks because drivers refuse to stop, especially when there is no stop sign. These drivers are supposed to stop when there are pedestrians present. They do not.
This is truly a tragic, and horrific story that could be prevented, if drivers pay attention when people are present at crosswalks. There is no excuse for this drivers reckless conduct.
