Yesterday was a horrific day for Chicago pedestrians and cyclists.

A pregnant woman and her baby were killed on the West Side when a driver blew through a red light and hit them and three other people.

A 23-year-old woman riding her bike on the North Side was killed when she fell under a truck, when then ran her over.
