Airport Fatal Accident Duplicates 1992 Event
An accident that killed one man and injured five people at O’Hare International Airport was almost an exact replay of an accident nearly one year ago.
A minivan jumped a curb and ran through a group of pedestrians Sunday. “There was a lot of commotion, a lot of screaming,” said Officer Vito Montana. George Brinkman, 68, of Elgin was charged with negligent driving and striking pedestrians on a sidewalk.
A 9-year-old girl was killed and 76 people were injured when a car jumped the curb at the airport April 30, 1992.
