Fourth grader struck, killed by car outside Chicago elementary school
A 9-year-old boy was struck and killed by a car Thursday morning outside McNair Elementary School on Chicago's West Side, police said.

Deadly pedestrian crash sparks chain reaction crash on I-285 in DeKalb County
A car hit a pedestrian before another car crashed into it, shutting down part of I-285 Friday.
Speeding does not become safe on the highway because of the absence of pedestrians.
People can exit disabled vehicles anywhere, and urban highways built to restrict pedestrian movement will have some pedestrians.
