Videos from the scene show a group of people apparently fighting in the middle of Jeffery Boulevard. A car speeds down the wrong side of the road, then appears to steer slightly to avoid one group of people before plowing into the second group. The driver did not stop.
Please be warned that the following video is graphic if you decide to watch it.

I used to watch that show. 🤪
4 AM license. 5AM Saturday (Sunday AM). Closed Monday for cleanup?
There have been a lot of news stories recently about drivers plowing into crowds. Is it happening more often, or just more focus?
Me too.
Usually they are SUVs.
That was brutal. It looked like 2 guys were thrown a hundred feet. 🥵
That car is gonna need the expertise of Mr. Winston Wolfe to keep em out of prison.
Thanks for the warning. Watched 1/2. Sad. Unethical driver speeds up into a group of people standing in the street. Moral of the story: don’t stand in the middle of a street.
You realize of course, we are just showing our age? 😀🤪😂 If I recall, however, it was New York, not Chicago. 👍
Wow... The third guy went even farther on the passenger side of the car
Mass killings are the new American pastime. It’s not just guns anymore. People are killing each other in lots of fun ways.
“...a driver struck them at a high speed in front of one of Chicago’s longest-running LGBTQ bars...”
It’s Chicago. The pedestrians would have been shot eventually. It’s what Chicagoans do all the time. Al Sharpton, Jessie Jackson and Barry Obama approve.
Pretty good altitude, reasonable hang time for at least one ...
I don’t call a dozen people blocking the road a small group, especially when there appears to be violence taking place.
I don’t like seeing this kind of thing happening to people, but you stand in the middle of a dark road fighting with people, you should expect trouble when a car comes down the road.
Stupid people die in stupid ways. This is a moment of natural selection, a Darwin Award. If you are a big enough idiot to fight in the middle of a city street at night then whatever happens to you is your own fault.
Good Lord - looks like a couple of those bodies ended up on the Metra / IC tracks at 71st and Jeffrey - as bad as it was, if one of the commuter trains was coming through it could have been really ugly.
And if I’m not mistaken, that location may not be too far from where some of the scenes in the movie “Barbershop” were shot - I think I even remember some train sounds in the background during that flic.
True.
Needed Benny Hill music
Always bring an SUV to a fist fight...
