On May 24, Chicago police said two cars crashed near the same location, and as a result, one of the vehicles hit beloved mother and grandmother Maria Ochoa, who later died at the hospital.

Police said one of the drivers, a 26-year-old man, was issued multiple citations, including failing to reduce speed.

“We know Archer Avenue has a lot of speeding. We know there’s a lot of drag racing. There’s a lot of accidents. We want to prevent those in the future and to make this terrible tragedy have some meaning,” said family attorney Frank Avila.

The victim in Wednesday’s pedestrian crash was also an elderly woman, police confirmed.

A 51-year-old woman driving a blue SUV struck a 73-year-old woman, who was taken to a hospital in good condition, according to police.

The driver was issued citations, police said.

No further information was immediately available.
