The body of the man who died was found nearly six blocks away from where he was struck.
-- Two men – one of them in in a wheelchair – were hit by a car on Ashland Avenue in the South Side's Brainerd community Thursday evening.At 6:23 p.m., a man of an unspecified age was pushing a 56-year-old man in a wheelchair across the street at Ashland Avenue between 94th and 95th streets, when a white 2007 Chevrolet sport-utility vehicle headed north on Ashland Avenue hit them both.
The man in the wheelchair was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn in serious condition. The man who had been pushing him was pronounced dead on the scene.For several hours Thursday night, police investigators collected evidence at the scene where the man's body was found. The body remained at the scene at 10 p.m., covered in a white sheet.
It was still unclear Tuesday night how the man's body ended up several blocks from where he was struck."I'm just going to encourage this individual to just turn yourself in, because it just probably will be a matter of time," Holmes said."You know, with all the surveillance that is out here, you never know which surveillance camera got a good look at you and your vehicle.
Police have not yet identified the victims of the hit-and-run. Meanwhile, man's body had been at the second scene at 89th and Ashland for three hours at 10 p.m., but no family members or loved ones had shown up.First published on December 29, 2022 / 7:43 PMCreate your free account or log inPlease enter valid email address to continue
