The suspect in a Near North hit-and-run is facing a felony charge for striking a Chicago police officer during the incident, but one of the driver’s other alleged victims is asking why he has yet to be charged with hitting her and her young daughter in the same crash.
Glendia Porter and her daughter, who were visiting Chicago from Muskegon, Michigan, were in a crosswalk near the intersection of Grand Avenue and State Street at approximately 8:07 p.m. on April 9 when they were struck by a vehicle that was fleeing a traffic stop.
According to police, the driver of a red Honda was asked to exit his vehicle by police, and when he refused, he struck a police sergeant and then swerved into a crowd of people in a nearby crosswalk. “We were skipping down a sidewalk and reminiscing on the good day we had, and it was ruined,” Porter told NBC 5. “As soon as I got right there and was about to hit the sidewalk, all I heard was a screech and I turned and I saw his lights and it was too late.”
