Two Accidents at Same Intersection: Family Demands Action After Second Pedestrian Struck

A 73-year-old woman was struck by a vehicle and injured Wednesday at the same Garfield Ridge intersection where a grandmother was killed while walking last month, Chicago police said. The incident occurred at Laramie and Archer. Police cited the driver of the SUV that struck the woman. The family of Maria Ochoa, the 84-year-old grandmother killed in a similar incident last month, is calling for changes at the intersection, citing concerns about speeding drivers. "People speed through that area," a family member stated. The intersection has become a focal point for safety concerns following these two incidents. Local authorities are reviewing the situation to determine if safety improvements are needed.
