Police are looking for the vehicle that killed a bicyclist Friday in Chicago’s Southeast Side in what authorities are calling a hit-and-run.
55-year-old Pablo Rodriguez suffered fatal injuries and died at about 6:15 a.m. Friday morning after being struck by a vehicle at the 9900 block of South Avenue L in Chicago’s East Side neighborhood.
Witnesses told police the vehicle was a black SUV or van that continued to travel north on South Avenue L after hitting Rodriguez.
This is at least the second fatal hit-and-run in Chicago this week. A 5-year-old boy also died Wednesday after being struck by two vehicles. Earlier this summer, activists and community members on the North Side called for safer streets for pedestrians and cyclists as a result of multiple traffic-related deaths.
Police are encouraging those with information about the crash to call (312) 745-4521.
