Brian DeWitt was killed when an unmarked police car crashed into his car as he was turning left. The officer was reportedly driving about 90 mph, without lights and sirens, while chasing another other for an alleged traffic violation. The officer also confirmed that he never contacted dispatch to tell them what he was doing, according to his deposition. DeWitt's parents said they did not learn until the next day that their son was hit by an officer, after seeing it TV news. The DeWitts received a $2.5 million settlement from the Village of Evergreen Park. The officer was never reprimanded.
