Nick Parlingayan, 22, was riding his bike under a viaduct in Irving Park last year when he was struck by a car. The suit alleges construction work created a hazard for cyclists.
On May 4, 2022, a hit-and-run car crash killed 22-year-old Nick Parlingayan on the city’s Northwest Side, raising safety concerns among other cyclists.
With summer looming ahead and gas prices continuing to surge, advocates fear that a busier than usual bike season could be a lethal one without better safeguards for cyclists.
“We’re going to have two ghost bikes potentially looking at each other,” said Christina Whitehouse, director of Bike Lane Uprising. “It’s just a really dangerous area.”
Police are questioning someone in connection to a hit-and-run that killed a bicyclist Wednesday night in Old Irving Park, across the street from where another.
