An unidentified woman met a tragic fate after a nocturnal sprint onto a Southwest Side street in Chicago ended under the tires of a northbound car. The incident unfolded in the Chicago Lawn neighborhood around 12:15 a.m. on Tuesday, leaving the community rattled by the swift loss of a life.
The woman, believed to be in her late 40s, was reportedly seen hurling herself onto the roadway in the 7000 block of South Western Avenue, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
The force of the collision delivered brutish blows to her frame, with the visceral cruelty of blunt force trauma to her head and body, as noted by authorities. Rushed to Advocate Christ Medical Center, she was pronounced dead, her name yet to grace the public domain as next of kin notifications pend. The driver, who remained at the scene, has been enveloped in the unfolding investigation led by CPD's Major Accidents Unit, as per FOX 32 Chicago.
