How they died
Vehic/Purs
Dalia Santillana was killed when her other was struck by a car driven by a man fleeing police. During a wrongful death trial, evidence was presented that the officers had rammed the fleeing other (a violation of CPD policy) causing the driver to lose control and cross the centerline. A Cook County jury rejected the city of Chicago's position that officers were not engaged in the pursuit at the time of the fatal collision. In December 2003, a Cook County Circuit Court jury awarded Elizabeth Santillana $2 million in the case.
