Woman Crushed By Truck After Lollapalooza Festival 2011

A woman was crushed by a truck on her way home from the Lollapalooza festival in Chicago at the weekend.

Jacqueline Michon had attended the festival with friends when she was riding her bike home and lost her balance and fell under the rear axle of the vehicle.

The driver of the truck, who had not seen her fall, then drove off when the light turned green, crushing the 25-year-old.

Chicago Police News Affairs Officer John Mirabelli told the Chicago Sun-Times: “It's a tragic accident.”

This year's festival featured performances from Coldplay, Eminem and Foo Fighters, as well as a host of other big names – check out photos below on Gigwise.
