Overview
- After a nearly three-month probe, police determined the July crash that killed 2-year-old Finnegan McKee was caused by the driver mistakenly pressing the accelerator.
- Prosecutors reviewed the findings and agreed that criminal charges were not warranted.
- Toxicology showed no alcohol and a THC level below Illinois’ legal limit, and phone data indicated the device was used only for navigation.
- Police issued no citations, citing Illinois law that limits enforcement options for crashes occurring on private property.
- The child’s family has a wrongful death lawsuit pending against Portillo’s, and the Oswego location installed protective bollards last month.
