A community on Chicago’s Near West Side is rallying around a 42-year-old man who suffered severe head trauma when he was struck by a car over the weekend.
“I think for me it was very emotional when I heard this because I was a victim of a hit and run eight months ago,” said longtime West Loop resident and President of the Skinner Park Advisory Council May Toy.
“These things do not need to happen and we need to do everything we can,” she said. “The city needs to do everything they can to ensure that doesn’t happen again.” “She needs to be held accountable for her actions and we need to make sure the State’s Attorney does due diligence and charge her accordingly,” said Toy.
“Every time one of these things happen they say we’re going to take a look and do a study,” said Toy. “Well, you know what, action needs to follow those studies you can’t be just more lip service that’s kinda how I feel.”
