Several police vehicles chased the car, which reached speeds of 87 mph through residential neighborhoods where the speed limit was 25 mph.
The Chicago City Council’s Finance Committee unanimously approved the settlement, which is scheduled for a final vote by the full City Council on Wednesday.
Several police vehicles chased the car, which was driven by Antoine Watkins, reaching speeds of 87 mph through residential neighborhoods where the speed limit was 25 mph, Ruether said. It is unclear whether the chase was properly supervised or compiled with Chicago Police Department policies that require officials to balance the need and ability to apprehend a person suspected of a crime with the need to protect members of the public, Ruether said.
In November, the City Council voted to pay $2 million to the family of Julia Lynn Callaway, who was killed in May 2018 when she was struck by a car driven by Curtis Pugh while he was being pursued by police after officers smelled marijuana coming from his car. Marked police cars must also take the lead in pursuits, and activate their lights and sirens, according to the revised policy.
