CHICAGO -- (WGN) -- State comptroller Susana Mendoza confronted a man accused of fleeing an accident and it's all caught on camera.

“We were stopped at the red light when all of a sudden this black big pickup truck barrels through the intersection,” she told WGN News. 'And it was scary, you know, because you're there on your bike and your 4-year-old is with you. … A couple blocks down the street, wouldn't you know it, a four car accident.”
