Always look both ways before crossing, kids

  1. That's Chicago! Pure classic story! Now, I wonder if the driver was also running from the cops and/or driving a stolen car, had drugs, warrants, a body in the trunk, just done a dive-by... Maybe all of the above. What a place!

    1. Actually it was a truck that hit him and probably didn’t even know it

  2. Karma in action. I am for capitol punishment for car jackers.

  3. Chicago, ya' say? So I'm guessing the driver and any passengers were charged in the incident...

  4. I thought the Chi PD was ordered not to chase suspects. Especially suspects of color. I see Rev. Al beating the war drums and a 6 figure law suit coming down soon.

  6. I thought chicago passed a law where the cops could not chase a criminal. Looking for to the youtube video.

  7. From Second City Cop blog: The usual suspect was out of his stolen car at a car wass 2h when police pulled up. He ran and was run over by an 18 wheel truck that didn't stop.
    The cops involved are on a 30 day suspension to investigate whether they violated CPD policy by chasing the thief.
