A 55-year-old man was left critically injured in a hit-and-run incident in the Old Irving Park neighborhood of Chicago. The man was crossing West Irving Park Road around 1 a.m. when he was struck by a gray pickup truck that reportedly fled the scene according to police statements cited by the Chicago Tribune. He was then hit by a second vehicle, a black Jeep; the driver of which stopped to call for help.
After being struck, the victim suffering significant bodily trauma, was quickly transported to Illinois Masonic Medical Center where he remains in critical condition, ABC 7 Chicago reports.
