Worthon was dead on the scene. The boy was reported in critical condition early this morning at Children's Memorial Hospital.

--To John- I cannot agree more! I vacationed in Jamaica and asked our driver how many accidents happen every minute due to the crazy driving? You can have someone doing 35 mph on one side and 65 mph on the other with no lane markings!! He said that maybe one every few months! I don't know what it is about America but many others countries are like Jamaica and Mexico, yet you don't see the horrific accidents like this! May the mother find peace in her heart and guide her son through life safely until they meet again.
another piece of human waste driving with no insurance- chicago has got to be the capital of Hit and Run's. Seems like there are 2 or 3 every week. And many of them get away with it .
Only the worst kind of scum could go on looking at themselves in the mirror every day and sleeping at night, living their lives knowing what they did.
wish they had a camera at that intersection that could record the plate or something
if there is a hell I hope whoever does this sort of stuff burns slowly
