This is a perfect example of why so many people leave the scene of a pedestrian accident. Someone walks out in front of your car, it’s your fault. The pedestrian doesn’t even have to pay for the damage they caused to your vehicle.

They only thing worse than a cabbie with a fare is a cabbie looking for a fare!

Wow, I can’t believe that the adult that was helping the 6 and 8 year old children across the street was unharmed…must be a miracle! I’m sure it couldn’t have been poor irresponsible parenting because I would expect child services to arrest the parent(s) then and that making the news.

Was there an adult with the children or were they crossing this busy street by themselves? I agree that cabbies are the worse drivers in Illinois, second only to unlicensed ILLEGALS driving landscape vehicles. If there were no adults looking after these children as they crossed the street, someone needs to be held responsible and charged. Hopefully the girls will be ok and their injuries not too serious. I would keep them away from downtown Chicago; it’s too dangerous for them.

This is really very shocking news, police should have to take some strong steps against this criminal.
