Officer David C. Evans responded to a call of "police officers requiring assistance". As Officer Evans proceeded to the scene, three pedestrians ran onto the overpass in front of their cruiser. The cruiser swerved to avoid hitting the pedestrians and crashed through the barrier of the overpass and dropped 25 feet, landing on the Dan Ryan Expressway below.

Officer Evans sustained serious injuries which resulted in his death. He is survived by his three children.

David,
You were one of my favorite cousins and also a role model for me. You were so proud to wear your uniform that it instilled some pride in me. It's because of you that I studied Criminal Justice in college, walking away with a wealth of knowledge. I will never forget you telling me often to "be a leader and not a follower". Do know that you are missed but never forgotten and that you are considered a "HERO" to many.
