Media summary: A Dodge Ram trying to elude police caused a six-car wreck in which Alen Kicic and Kathryn McMaster were killed. At 6:46 a.m., police said they were called to an armed robbery at a Jewel-Osco and found a frenzied scene. Two men suspected of trying to rob the store drove off in the confusion. South Holland police located the pickup traveling east on Sibley Boulevard and followed. As the pickup approached Woodlawn, police said the driver accelerated, veered around cars stopped at the traffic signal, and ran the red light, crushing Kicic and McMaster's SUV. A witness said he saw police chasing a pickup less than two blocks from the wreck, then heard a crash but no screeches.
