Around 6:46 p.m., an officer reported a hit and run near the Dunkin Donuts at 3200 North Clark Street, near Clark and Belmont.
According to information relayed to police dispatch, it appears a tax driver struck a pedestrian and kept going.
A responding officer said the victim, who was taken to Illinois Masonic Hospital, may have sustained two broken legs.
Westbound traffic at the intersection of Belmont and Clark was temporarily rerouted.
No further details are available.
Now if it was a taxi driver, it's not acceptable, but almost understandable (watch out!), those fares mean anything over a human life! But a "tax driver"? They're usually safe but annoying nontheless. ;)
ReplyDeleteThere is a fresh out of prison nigger terrorizing that immediate vicinity, he has a canvas army bag and tries to get your attention by yelling "Ay!!! Ay!!!" and he will put his hands in your pockets in search of a "quarta". Five foot eight, overweight and has the most obnoxious nigger voice.
ReplyDeleteCall the cops on his worthless nigger ass as soon as you spot him. Also, getting arrested AGAIN should give him something to think about for awhile other than robbing white people and muh dikk.
Does he "live" at the Abbott "Hotel" or Walgreens?
ReplyDelete"he will put his hands in your pockets"? Try getting within 60 inches.
I carry a "tactical pen" amongst other things and jammed it in his windpipe when he pulled that shit.
ReplyDeleteI dunno,he's probably homeless.. this nigger was also fucking with me on Broadway near Devon and he told me about how he was just "outta jail" and "needed a quarta. That time I spared him the physical punishment, which was a mistake
Where else would you find a Chicago cop but a donut shop?
ReplyDeleteHonestly when it comes to situations like this, the driver was most likely not at fault.
ReplyDeleteProblem is Chicago citizens love to Jaywalk and to make it worse take your bike on a literal street and ride it like it's a car cutting people off.
Me and the wife moved up North for a year. I was terrified I was going to hit someone. People on their bikes literally in the middle of traffic it was crazy. We even saw cyclists get on Lake Shore Drive!
In other states where they elect people who actually help the economy if you jaywalk and get hit by the car. The person hit is at fault and you have to pay damage to the car you damaged.
In Chicago everything is upside down. LOL a Chicagoan a couple years back in D.C found out the hard way jaywalking and got hit and her mother said it was Rayciss her baby got fined.
North Siders cross at the lights and more importantly stop riding your bikes in the middle of the street
Anon @ 2:38 - Do you work in "the Loop"? Check edgevillebuzz.com for the report of the one that just flew through the restaurant. Tax free tips/fare is more important than a human life. I say 95/5 it was the "driver's" fault. All they have to do is fly back "home" before the court date.
ReplyDeleteP.S. The other night, again, I didn't tip the "driver" that was jibbering on his cell phone in some foreign tongue, interrupting his call and asking ME for directions - three - times when I was only going straight ahead about 1 mile. On the way back, I got an English speaking gentleman driver (first one in MONTHS). He waited for the car to pass before cutting in front of it while we were making a left hand turn (well noted). I tipped him $1.75. He said "thank you, thank you, very well appreciated, this is a slow week for us". I then gave him another $2 and didn't go out for breakfast the next morning as planned.
ReplyDeleteJust a thought cab drivers, waiters and bartenders. No, you don't have to beg - just do your job as you were hired to do.
