"Ke hoʻomanaʻo nei au i ka kau ʻana i koʻu mau maka a me koʻu mau lima ma luna o ka huila e like me ka makemake ʻaʻohe kanaka ma laila," wahi a Ramos, ʻo Glendale Heights, 26 makahiki.
ʻAʻole ʻo ia i ʻike ʻo ka ʻaoʻao ʻākau o Interstate 355 āna i hoʻoheheʻe ai i loko ua piha i ka hau hau.
ʻO nā mea a pau i manaʻoʻia, ua lakiʻo Ramos. Ua olaʻo ia i kahi hāʻule 22-foot. ʻAʻoleʻo ia iʻeha nui.
I loko o kahi huakaʻi ʻelua pule ma Chicago a me Milwaukee i Pepeluali i hala, ʻehā mau kaʻa ʻē aʻe i holo pū i nā kapa hau ma luna o nā pale pale ma nā alaloa ʻo Chicago a me Milwaukee. -ke kāne a me kahi wahine 22 makahiki.
ʻAʻohe keʻena aupuni e helu i kēia mau pōʻino kakaʻikahi akā weliweli. Ua kākau ʻo Chicago Sun-Times i 51 mau hanana "snow slope" mai ka makahiki 1994, me hoʻokahi makahiki i hala ma Portland, Oregon, kahi i lele ai kahi kanaka 57 makahiki mai kahi alahaka i ka wā. he hau hau Lele i lalo a hāʻule i kona make ma ka muliwai ʻo Columbia. Ma mua o kēia makahiki, ʻelua mau hanana i hana ʻia ma ka ʻaoʻao like o Interstate 90 ma Cleveland.
I nā pule hope loa o 2000, ma Chicago, ʻeiwa mau kaʻa i kuʻi ma luna o nā alahele o Chicago Transit Authority ma hope o ka hōʻiliʻili ʻana i ka hau ma nā ʻaoʻao ʻelua o ke alaloa.
ʻOi aku ka ʻino o kekahi mau makahiki ma mua o nā makahiki ʻē aʻe. ʻO ka loiloi Sun-Times o nā hōʻike ulia pōpilikia, nā hoʻopiʻi hoʻopiʻi, nā palapala aupuni a me nā lono nūhou e hōʻike ana i ka ulu ʻana o nā ulia i nā pūʻulu i ka wā hoʻoilo hau, me nā poʻe ʻauwaʻa e palau mau ana.
Ma keʻano laulā, manaʻo ʻia nā ulia e pili ana i nā kaʻa e lele ana mai ka lihi o ka hau ma nā ala kiʻekiʻe.
ʻOiai ʻaʻole hiki ke hana i kēlā me kēia lā, ʻōlelo ka poʻe loea palekana alanui he hiki ke pale ʻia.
ʻAʻole manaʻo ka hapa nui o nā mea hoʻokele i ka hau ma ka ʻaoʻao o ke ala he mea weliweli. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Lawrence M.

"Inā ʻoe e hōʻuluʻulu i ka hau ma luna, e uhaʻi maoli ʻoe i nā mea palekana," wahi a Levin. "Hele pololei ʻoe."
Ua haʻalele ʻo Ramos i ka I-355 i ke kakahiaka o Pepeluali 16, 2021. E hele ana ʻo ia i ka ʻākau ma ka ʻaoʻao hema. he ʻīniha i ka ʻīniha” o ka hau ma kona poʻohiwi hema e komo ana ma kona ala kaʻa.
Ke kaʻa nei ʻo Kevin Ramos o Glendale Heights ma Interstate 355 i ka lā 16 o Pepeluali, 2021, i ka wā i heʻe ai kāna Jeep Grand Cherokee ma nā ala ʻekolu a kuʻi ʻia ʻO ka pā paʻa i uhi ʻia i ka hau i hoʻokuke iā ia mai ke alahaka ma ke alanui Lake paʻa ma lalo o 20 kapuaʻi.
Ma ka hema o ke alanui Lake Street, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Ramos ua pā ʻo ia i kahi poloka hau i uhi ʻia e ka hau. He huelo iʻa kona jeep.
Huli akau ka ka'a wili ma na alahele ekolu, e pahee pololei ana i ka 34.5-inihi ka nui o ke ka'a kia'i i manaoia e pale aku i ke ka'a mai ka lele ana mai ka lihi aku.
Akā,ʻo ka hau i'ō'ō'ō'ō, e kū'ē ana i ka pale, e like me ka ramp e like me ka'ōlelo a Ramos, kokoke i ka piko o ka pale. Ke holo nei ka SUV.
"ʻO ka manawa i piʻi ai kaʻu kaʻa, ua lohi ka wikiwiki a hiki ʻole iaʻu ke manaʻoʻiʻo e ʻōwili ʻia," wahi āna.
Ua pae mua ka poʻe kaʻa ma hope o kāna Jeep, ma ke alanui Lake, lele akula ke kaʻa i mua, a no kekahi kumu, ua hāʻule nā huila, a waiho ʻia ka mea hoʻokele e hele mai ana me ka wāwae hoʻokahi ma ke kaʻa. .A ʻaʻole ʻo ia i hahau i nā kaʻa ʻē aʻe.

He mea weliweli paha nā ulia lele no ka mea pinepine ia mau mea ma nā alaloa kiʻekiʻe, nā alaloa, a i ʻole nā alahaka kiʻekiʻe ma luna o ka ʻāina—ua ʻoi aku ka maloʻo maloʻo o nā alanui i ʻike ʻia ma mua o nā wahi ʻē aʻe.
Ua ʻōlelo ka poʻe i pakele, ʻaʻole lākou i manaʻo i ka pōʻino no ka mea he maʻemaʻe nā ala ala a ʻaʻohe hau, a manaʻo lākou e haʻalulu paha ka pā akā e mālama iā lākou ma ke alanui.
Ma Pepeluali 12, 2021, ʻehā lā ma mua o ka lele ʻana o Kevin Ramos i ka I-355, ua make ʻelua mau kānaka ma kahi kaʻa kaʻa ma ke alanui ʻo Stevenson, kahi i hōʻuluʻulu ʻia. ʻO ka hau kekahi kumu.
ʻO 2013 Hyundai Veloster e halihali ana i ʻelua kāne a me ʻelua wahine, ʻelua i ko lākou mau makahiki 20, e hele ana i ka ʻākau ma waena o nā alahele ʻo Damen a me Ashland ma kahi o 4am. .

Aia kekahi kanaka hana ma ia wahi o Feberuari i hala aku nei ma hope o ka holo ana o ke kaa ma luna o ka hau ma ke alanui Stevenson Freeway a lele aku ma ke ala kaawale. Ua make laua.
ʻO ka mea hoʻokele 27 makahiki, ʻo Bulmaro Gomez, i wehewehe i kona hoʻolewa ʻana ma kahi ʻaoʻao GoFundMe he "aloha loa" a "hauʻoli mau" me ka make ʻana o kāna mea kaʻa noho mua 22 makahiki, ʻo Griselda Zavala. ʻElua mau hoaaloha ma ka noho hope i ola.
Ua ʻike ʻia kahi hoʻāʻo toxicology ua ʻoi aku ka nui o ka waiʻona koko o ka mea hoʻokele ma mua o ka pālua i kāu palena hoʻokele inu ʻo Illinois. Ua "hoʻokele ʻo ia i ka wikiwiki kiʻekiʻe," e like me ka hōʻike ʻana o ka mokuʻāina ʻo Illinois State Police. ka hau ma ka poʻohiwi ʻākau, ua hoʻomau ʻo Hyundai i ka holo ʻana ma luna o ka pā.
Ua hōʻike ʻia nā kiʻi mākaʻi i ke kahua paʻa paʻa ma laila e piha ana me kahi ʻāpana hau.
ʻO kahi hōʻike kūlana ala ala IDOT 'Snow Control', i waiho ʻia i ka lā ma hope o ka ulia pōpilikia, ua ʻike ʻia ʻo ke alanui a me nā poʻohiwi kokoke i Damen e pono ai ka nānā ʻana, me ka huaʻōlelo 'poʻohiwi' i kaha ʻia.
Ma ka lā 31 o Ianuali, ua hoʻopiʻi ka ʻohana o Zavala i kahi hoʻopiʻi ma ka ʻAha Hoʻopiʻi ʻo Illinois - kahi e waiho ai i nā koi kūʻē i nā keʻena mokuʻāina - me ka ʻōlelo ʻana ʻaʻole i hoʻopau ʻo IDOT i nā pōʻino i ʻike ʻia, a i ʻole ʻaʻole i hōʻike aku i nā mea hoʻokele o lākou. Ke ʻimi nei ka ʻohana i $ 2,2 miliona. i nā poho - ka nui loa i ʻae ʻia.
Ma lalo o ke kānāwai ʻo Illinois, hoʻohana ʻia ka maʻamau "comparative fault" no ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i nā hihia.
ʻAʻole ʻo ka ulia make i ka lā Pepeluali i hala aku nei ka manawa mua i holo kaʻa ai kahi kaʻa ma luna o kahi hau hau ma Stevenson.
I ka wā hoʻoilo nui o 1978-79, lele ʻeiwa mau kaʻa mai Interstate 55, a make ma kahi o hoʻokahi kanaka, e like me ka hoʻoholo ʻana o ka ʻAha Hoʻopiʻi ʻo Illinois i ka makahiki 1990 no nā kahu hoʻokahi. Ua hāʻule lākou he 60 kapuaʻi mai ke alaloa - ma waena o Damen ʻO Ashland Avenues, kahi i ʻoi aku ka pōkole o nā pale i kēlā manawa - a ua ola ʻo ia me nā ʻeha nui.
"He kuleana ko ka moku'āina e mālama pono i nā alanui," i kākau ai ka luna kānāwai, a hiki iā ia ke ʻōlelo aku i nā mea hoʻokele i nā pōʻino - nā mea i hana ʻia e nā hana mahiʻai a ka mokuʻāina.
"ʻO ka hoʻohu ʻana i ka hau i ka hopena i nā kūlana hau weliweli loa," i kākau ai ka luna kānāwai.
"Aia mākou ma hope o nā makahiki he nui," wahi a Larry Rogers Jr., he loio no ka ʻohana Zavala. "Ua ʻike lākou i kēia pilikia no nā makahiki he mau makahiki. ʻAʻole lākou i hana i mea e hoʻoponopono ai.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Rogers e hiki i ka mokuʻāina ke ʻōlelo aku i nā mea hoʻokele me nā hōʻailona "a i ʻole e palau wale iā ia i kahi wahi ʻaʻohe pilikia." "Pono lākou e noʻonoʻo i kēia."
Kāhea nā alakaʻi a IDOT i ka wehe ʻana i ka hau e "hoʻomau a hiki i ka wā i wehe ʻia ai ka hau mai nā papa alahaka a kokoke i nā paia a i ʻole nā paʻa kiaʻi kahi e hiki mai ai nā pali."
Akā, no ka loaʻa ʻana o Chicago a me nā kaona ma mua o 200 mau mile o ke ala ākea e mālama ai, ua noa ka ʻoihana e hoʻoholo pehea e hoʻoponopono ai i ka hau ma nā pilikia.
Ma mua o kēia mahina, ua hoʻomanaʻo ka ʻohana a me nā hoaaloha o Zavala iā Griselda, he wahine ʻōpio "aloha, hāʻawi a kōkua" i makemake nui e kōkua i kona kaikuahine a me kona makuahine me nā ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo make-up, i ka lā hoʻomanaʻo o ka hāʻule ʻana, a ke nānā nei i ka hele ʻana i ka nani. kula.
Ua hele lākou i ka ilina o ke alahouana kahi i kanu ʻia ai ʻo ia a hoʻokuʻu i nā baluna e hōʻike ana i ko lākou minamina nui iā ia.
"I ko lākou kāhea ʻana mai iā mākou a haʻi mai iā mākou aia ʻo ia ma ke alanui Stevenson Freeway a pae ʻo ia ma lalo o ia mea, ua like mākou: Pehea? Pehea e hiki ai kēia?" ʻO kona kaikuahine ʻo Iliana Zavala Say. ʻAʻole hiki iā mākou ke hele a puni.
“He ʻeha ʻaʻole ʻoe makemake e hoʻomanawanui, ʻaʻole hoʻi i kou ʻenemi ʻino loa. No ka mea, ʻike ʻoe, ʻaʻole ia. He ʻeha. ʻOiai ma hope o hoʻokahi makahiki, paʻakikī mau ke manaʻoʻiʻo i ka mea i hana ʻia.
"I kekahi manawa, nīnau mākou, inā ʻaʻole i lele ke kaʻa, ʻike ʻoe, a, ʻike ʻoe, ma waho o ke [alanui], e ola paha ʻo ia?"
Ma hope koke iho o ka hoʻokuʻi ʻana ma waena o I-55 a me I-355, ua holo ka mea hoʻokele kaʻa ma Chicago i kona lio ma nā pali hau ma ke alanui Eisenhower Freeway.
I ka lā hoʻokahi, i loko o ʻelua pule o ka hau, ua lele ʻelua mau mea hoʻokele ʻē aʻe mai kahi alaloa ma Milwaukee.
Ma kahi o ka hola 10 a ua hōʻiliʻili ʻia ma luna o ke kahua kiaʻi.
Ma ka leka uila iā IDOT i kēlā lā, ʻōlelo ʻo CTA Hope Pelekikena o ka palekana Jeffrey Hulbert i ka "makemake wikiwiki no ka hana wikiwiki" a noi aku i nā limahana mokuʻāina e wehe i ka "launch ramp" i lele ai ke kaʻa o ka wahine ma luna o ka pilikia.
