The report did not reveal the extent of the victims’ injuries, but the police stated that medics took them to St. Joseph’s Hospital for treatment. The driver of the other vehicle involved was not at the scene, making the crash a hit-and-run.
The KCSO has not identified the motorist or the vehicle, but the investigation is ongoing. Anyone with helpful information should contact the sheriff’s office on the listed line.
Under Illinois law, a hit-and-run happens when an at-fault driver flees the scene of an accident to avoid taking responsibility for their negligent actions and getting arrested. It is illegal for anyone to leave a collision site whether they are liable for it or not.
The driver should remain at the scene — unless he or she requires medical attention — and render help to anyone who needs it. If there is no injury, but there is property damage, remain at the scene, and provide specific information to law enforcement agencies and other drivers involved.
