A Chicago taxi driver struck a “small child” in the city’s North Side Uptown neighborhood, according to police communications.
The apparent accident happened around 6:39 p.m. at the intersection of North Clarendon and West Agatite Avenues, near Clarendon Park.
An unconfirmed report indicated a mob of forty people were threatening to harm the cabdriver.
At the time of the incident, a huge block party was going on in the area, said a responding officer.
The injured child was transported to Weiss Memorial Hospital.
Although the extent of the patient’s injuries were unknown, one officer said the victim was alert and able to speak with investigators.

What was a child doing in the streets? Funny thing a Chicago Teen went to another state and of course they were jaywalking like they do in Chicago and the girl was walking in the middle of the street.
ReplyDeleteWhen the girl got hit by a car not only did the girls parents get a ticket but they also had to pay for repairs for damaging the car.
Here in Chicago and more so on the North Side driving that way is crazy because everyone Chicago just walk wherever and they ride there bikes like they are cars cutting people off.
What is worse those in Chicago are not held into account for jaywalking or putting people's lives in danager by roaming the streets.
