A Democratic county official near Chicago is drawing national scrutiny after she allegedly hit a child with her car and fled the scene, according to published reports.
Jackie Traynere, a member of the Will County Board, received only a ticket for failing to yield on a right-of-way when her vehicle struck a child in a crosswalk. Multiple witnesses reported that as the child, riding his bicycle from a nearby sidewalk, entered the crosswalk with southbound traffic halted, Traynere’s car made an illegal turn and hit him.
