A 3-year-old girl out riding with her mother in Uptown was killed Thursday when the woman tried squeezing around a ComEd truck illegally parked in a bike lane and was hit by a passing semi.
The semi was pulling away from a stop sign at Leland and Winthrop avenues around 8:15 a.m. when it knocked the mother off balance and the girl was thrown from a child carrier on the bike, according to a police report.
