Tollway worker killed

Rest assured a crackdown on semis rolling thru Chicagoland will commence.

Police: Tollway worker fatally struck by vehicle on I-294

 

According to police, the semi-truck driver did not stop after the crash.

Terrible, just terrible

 

I saw that, too. That's a travesty. Hope they catch him; he's giving us ALL a bad rap.

 

How does somebody traveling behind not see the incident aftermath and report and follow the h&r vehicle? That road is too busy during broad daylight hours for somebody not to have been a key witness.

 

Sadly the majority of folks just "don't want to get involved." And then there are those that just don't care.

 

I hope they track down the idiot that did that and he pays dearly!!! That is terrible!! I would like to insert stronger words here but if I stated how I really felt it would just be a string of # signs!! People need to wake the #### up!

 

Whew it's sad that there are ppl like this behind the wheel of a trk.

 

They probably didn't notice...they all were looking down at their phones!!

 

The tollways around Chicagoland have surveillance cameras. It's only a matter of time before they catch the idiot who did this.

 

It's very common in that godforsaken place ... I already seen a four wheeler to an illegal u turn RIGHT IN FRONT of a DOT trooper, the trooper just kept going and pulled over a truck. Every time I go through that area I get one of those idiots with the Chicagoland companies(hard to keep track of who is who because they change their names and dot numbers an a daily basis)almost merging into me, or riding my bumper, and of course with that ###### phone in hand. They are as bad or worse than the already brainless four wheelers around there. And also in other parts of the country I run when a vehicle does something really stupid around me it almost always has Illinois tags or belonging to a company based in Chicago area.
