CHICAGO, IL – One person suffered serious injuries as a result of a hit-and-run pedestrian collision Saturday evening, April 20, in Chicago’s South Side, according to the Chicago Police Department.

The incident took place at 8701 South Houston Avenue, in the city’s South Chicago neighborhood, at around 6:40 p.m.

Officials indicated that at least one vehicle was traveling in an “erratic, reckless, careless, negligent, or aggressive manner” when it struck the victim, leaving them with “incapacitating” injuries. The driver then continued away from the scene without stopping.

The crash report also shows that the event unfolded on a muddy stretch of roadway that runs over a hill crest, in a 30 mph zone.

Over $1,500 in property damage was reported, but it was not immediately clear what object was damaged.
