COOK COUNTY, IL – One person lost their life Monday morning, August 26, due to a pedestrian crash on Interstate 57 in southwest Chicago, reports FOX 32 Chicago.

The fatal incident unfolded on the northbound highway near 111th Street, at around 3:48 a.m.

Illinois State Police said the victim, who was on the right shoulder and outside of their own car, was struck by a vehicle whose driver continued away from the scene without stopping.

First responders rushed the victim to an area hospital where they died.

A section of the northbound interstate was closed following the event, forcing motorists to re-route onto 119th Street.

By 7:45 a.m., all lanes were reopened to traffic.

Authorities have not released any information regarding the suspect or the fleeing vehicle.
