Pedestrian and Bike Accidents
On The 606
What do you do after a crash or accident on The 606 in Chicago?
First, be sure you get the medical attention you need. Call 911 or ask someone nearby to request an ambulance. If you are able to go with someone to the hospital safely, then be sure you get the basic information about who else was involved in the crash before leaving the scene. If you’re unable to gather information on your own, you can ask for help from the police or, if necessary, someone you trust nearby.
​
Next, report the crash to authorities, including the Chicago Police Department, and let them know you’re injured.
Then, gather as much information about how the crash happened. Don’t count on the police to save contact information of witnesses; instead, try and write down at least the name and phone number of anyone who saw how the crash happened.
Next, take photographs of the area of the crash and the bikes involved.
