A pedestrian was fatally struck by a driver Saturday night while trying to cross Irving Park Road in Lake View, Chicago police said.
The 25-year-old woman was walking between two parked cars in the 1400 block of Irving Park Road around 9:20 p.m. when a driver in a sedan hit her, police said.
The driver fled west and crashed into an SUV, which then hit a black sedan. The driver of the SUV tried to detain him, but he got back into his car and fled again. He then crashed into a tree, according to police. He got out of the car and ran off, then entering a building in the 4000 block of North Ashland Avenue, police said.
He was later arrested and charges are pending.
The woman was taken to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center where she was later pronounced dead, according to police. The drivers of the two cars that were hit declined medical attention.
