Despite jury's intention, family will get only $191,000 for crash that killed parents>

A DuPage County jury wanted to give $2.5 million to the children of a couple killed more than two years ago by a drunken driver.

But the two bars found liable for serving that driver will shell out far less because of Illinois' limit on damages. The award was reduced to about $191,000 -- the maximum allowed under the cap.

Douglas and Margie Long were killed early Jan. 28, 2006, after an intoxicated motorist sped through a red light at 63rd and Main streets in Downers Grove. The Darien couple were educators.
