Last month, on May 24, two vehicles collided at the same spot, leading to one of the cars striking Maria Ochoa, a beloved mother and grandmother, who later succumbed to her injuries in the hospital, according to Chicago police.

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

“Archer Avenue is known for excessive speeding, drag racing, and numerous accidents. We aim to prevent such incidents in the future and bring some significance to this tragic event,” stated family lawyer Frank Avila.

The victim in Wednesday’s pedestrian crash was also believed to be an elderly woman, sources told ABC7.

Chicago police did not confirm further information about Wednesday’s crash.

ABC7 has reached out to Chicago police for more information.
