The parents of a three-year-old girl killed while bike riding in a Chicago bike lane filed a 10-count wrongful death and negligence lawsuit on January 18 against the city, Mondelez International, a truck leasing company and the electric utility company, Commonwealth Edison Company (ComEd).

On the morning of June 9, 2022, Kate Snow and Timothy Shambrook set out by bike to drop off their toddler at a summer day camp. The three-year old child named Elizabeth Grace “Lily” Shambrook was secured in a child carrier on Snow’s bike while Timothy Shambrook followed on his bicycle behind the mother-daughter duo.
