from today's Chicago Sun Times newspaper:
DEADLY CRASH NOTHING TO SMILE ABOUT
Crossing the street on their way to church, Frank and Helen Lilly were run down by an alleged drunken driver. Helen died, and Frank is in intensive care. The driver, Thomas Postulka, had been charged in another DUI just two days before.Frank G. Lilly, Helen's husband of 50 years, remains in intensive care nearly three weeks later.
What makes this tragedy even harder on the Brookfield couple's family and friends is that an alleged drunken driver struck the Lillys -- only two days after he'd been charged with another DUI.
"It just seems like someone who had a DUI, his second one in that many days, just shouldn't be driving around," said the couple's daughter, Lisa Lilly, 41.
But under Illinois law, Thomas J. Postulka had full driving privileges Jan. 22 when the fatal crash happened in front of St. Barbara Catholic Church in Brookfield.
