Logan Square multi-vehicle and bike crash

What a bummer.  I suppose it is at least progress that they didn't call this an "accident."

But set your stopwatches and get ready for the comments by the mouth-frothing bike haters who won't actually read and/or comprehend the sequence of events...

A squad car with its lights and sirens activated was headed north along Sacramento Avenue when a second vehicle T-boned the police car at the intersection of Logan Boulevard about 7:30 a.m., Chicago Police said.

The impact of the collision forced the squad car to hit a 27-year-old man on a bike who was riding southbound on Sacramento, according to Officer Janel Sedevic, a Chicago police spokeswoman.

Thanks for posting.  So glad to hear that you're back on the saddle.

This is very solid advice about the importance of two relatively unknown types of insurance: Uninsured (covers you if the other driver doesn't have insurance) and Underinsured (covers you when the other driver doesn't have enough insurance). To add this coverage is not much more financially, but can make a HUGE difference if the driver who hit you has little insurance or no insurance at all.

If you don't have a car, you can always see if you can be added to a family member, friend, or roommate's insurance policy. You can also look into a "non owner policy" but not all insurance companies offer those.

Thomas, most of all I am glad you are doing better and back to riding.

Thomas, you have a lot of courage to be back out there after something like that.  Mad props to you!

So thankful you're ok. You are so insanely fortunate - hope the signs keep aligning for you. I'm looking into my insurance situation right now - thanks for the heads up.
