The victim was struck while changing a tire on a stopped vehicle

CHICAGO, IL – One person lost their life Sunday evening after a pedestrian crash on Interstate 85 in Chicago’s Southwest Side that left two other people injured, according to ABC7 Chicago.

The accident happened near Cicero Avenue, shortly after 6:40 p.m.

Illinois State Police said three people were outside of a stopped vehicle on the right shoulder and trying to change a tire. At one point, a pickup truck veered off the roadway, entered the shoulder, and struck the stopped vehicle, along with two of the three pedestrians.

According to ISP, one of the pedestrians suffered life-threatening injuries and was pronounced deceased at a local hospital.

The second pedestrian and the driver of the pickup were transported to area hospitals with injuries considered non-life-threatening.

No injuries to the third pedestrian were reported.

Officials had all southbound lanes in the area shut down for an extended time, but the closure was lifted by Monday morning.

An investigation remains ongoing.
