CHICAGO -- The Chicago intersection where an actor who appeared in the movie "School of Rock" was killed while riding his bicycle was flagged three years ago by a traffic safety group as "notoriously unsafe and hazardous" by a traffic safety group, but it says no improvements were made.
Kevin Clark, who played drummer Freddy "Spazzy McGee" Jones in the 2003 movie starring Jack Black, was struck by a car at the intersection Wednesday and declared dead at a hospital. Police said a witness told officers that Clark, who was 32, was riding east on Logan Boulevard when he ran a red light and was struck by a vehicle crossing Logan at Western Avenue.
Clark's death led the transportation alliance to renew its calls for safety improvements at the location, which runs partly under the Kennedy Expressway.
