A grim search is underway for a hit-and-run driver responsible for the death of a pedestrian on S. Lakeshore Drive earlier this month, as reported by the Chicago Police Department. In the early morning of August 10, an individual, whose identity has yet to be disclosed, was initially struck by a vehicle that did remain at the scene. However, what turned this incident from grave to fatal was a second collision involving another vehicle that has since evaded authorities.
The details are scarce but the police have pieces of information to work with – the second collision occurred not long after the first, with the suspect driving a white four-door sedan, likely a Lincoln Continental model from between 2017 and 2020, has a distinct moonroof and should have noticeable front-end damage which could lead to its identification, as per the Chicago Police Department.
Authorities have managed to obtain footage of the suspect's vehicle, last seen on police observation devices located at the 400 block and 300 block of E. Grand Avenue. The Chicago Police Department encourages anyone with information to come forward, providing as much detail as possible about the car or the circumstances surrounding the tragic hit and run.
