Media summary: Kenyatta Brack Jr. was killed when a Hyundai Sonata fleeing police hit his bicycle, launching him airborne into oncoming traffic. Deputies said they first saw the car speeding on the Bishop Ford Freeway and tried to stop it after it exited, but the driver sped away from their unmarked car. Officers claimed they weren't chasing the Hyundai and were following at a safe distance when Brack was hit. Witnesses refuted the officers' account, saying the police car was right behind the Sonata at the time of the crash. In January 2016, the Cook County Board agreed to pay $6 million to settle a lawsuit filed by Brack's family.
