A woman's skull was smashed by concrete falling from a Virgin Future Properties building on Milwaukee Avenue. She spoke out from Stroger Hospital.
CHICAGO -- This summer was supposed to be a period of growth and discovery for 22-year-old soon-to-be-graduating Annie Shea Wheeler.
Falling concrete from the facade of a vacant building at 1227 North Milwaukee Avenue smashed her skull on April 6 as she was walking home. The Columbia College fine arts student remembers only waking up in the street. "Going forward is going to be very slow and tedious which is kind of frustrating," Wheeler said."I am a very ambitious person."
