The man who was behind the wheel in a hit-and-run crash that sent four people heading to a White Sox game at Guaranteed Rate Field has been charged, according to the Chicago Police Department.
Prosecutors said Garcia drove at high speeds near 35th and Shields as a crossing guard instructed the injured four fans, along with others, to walk across the street. Prosecutors also said Garcia ignored demands from others inside his vehicle to stop for the pedestrians, leading to two of the victims being flipped in the air from the impact.
Jerome Janczy’s father, Charles from Evanston, is one of the victims.
“Obviously, he needs to be charged,” he said. I mean I don’t know if this was intentional. If it was intentional or not, it’s completely unacceptable.”
Charles was tossed into the vehicle’s sunroof, clinging on as it sped off onto the Dan Ryan Expressway where state troopers ultimately stopped it.
“He says he didn’t even see the car coming and then it hit,” Jerome Janczy said. “Before he knew it, he was face down into the perpetrator’s vehicle. And within a few minutes he’s in a car chase on the Dan Ryan. I mean it sounds like a movie but it was real.
He said his father loves the White Sox and running. He has broken bones all over his body, but he is expected to recover.
