The Chicago City Council approved a settlement on Wednesday that will pay $15 million to the family of a woman who was killed when a police cruiser ran a red light and slammed into her SUV after officers allegedly ignored repeated orders to end their high-speed pursuit of a carjacking suspect. Without discussion, the council approved the settlement with the family of Guadalupe Francisco-Martinez, a mother of six who was 37 years old when she died. The move was widely expected after its finance committee agreed with the city's law department that the wrongful death lawsuit should be settled rather than allow it to go to trial and risk having to pay an even greater amount.
Guadalupe Francisco-Martinez was coming home from work when, with the green light, she drove into an intersection where the officer slammed into her vehicle with a marked police cruiser.
