Family of woman killed during Chicago police chase sues city

The family of a woman killed during a Chicago police chase last November alleges the officers involved showed “a conscious disregard for the safety of others,” according to a lawsuit filed in Cook County court.

A stolen vehicle, being pursued by Chicago police, crashed into Karen Henry’s vehicle before colliding with a CTA bus on Nov. 20, 2024, in the Washington Park neighborhood.
