Tuesday’s fatal hit-and-run follows a string of pedestrian deaths as the result of vehicles earlier in the summer.
A man crossing the street in the Lawndale neighborhood was killed Tuesday night after two cars struck him, police said.
The driver of the first car that hit the 58-year-old man fled the scene, police said. The silver car headed south down Pulaski Road after the 9:30 p.m. collision, witnesses said. The second driver whose car hit the pedestrian, a 20-year-old man, remained on the scene in the 4000 block of West 5th Avenue and awaited authorities.The 58-year-old pedestrian was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. He was not at a crosswalk when he was killed, police said.
Earlier in June, 75-year-old Peter Paquette was fatally struck by a car in an Irving Park Road crosswalk in the North Center neighborhood. In the two weeks prior, 3-year-old Lily Grace Shambrook and 2-year-old Raphael “Rafi” Cardenas were fatally struck by cars in separate accidents. Shambrook was on a bike in the Uptown neighborhood, and Cardenas had been crossing a street on a mini-scooter in the Lincoln Square neighborhood.
