Chicago, IL (September 7, 2024) – Per authorities, an investigation is underway on Friday afternoon, September 6, after a hit-and-run crash sent a car into the front room of a garden unit at an apartment building on the city’s Northwest Side.
According to Chicago police, the crash unfolded just before 1:00 p.m. in Belmont Cragin, in the 3000 block of North Laramie Avenue. Officers said an unknown driver in an SUV heading westbound along West Wellington Avenue was involved in a crash with a 52-year-old woman in a black Honda driving southbound along Laramie.
The crash caused the Honda driver to lose control of her vehicle, and she ended up crashing with another car before slamming into a building on the 2900 block of North Laramie Avenue. Following the crash, the driver of the SUV fled the scene. The woman involved in the crash suffered a neck injury and was taken to the hospital, where she was listed in stable condition. No additional information was available as officials investigated, though a search for the driver and possible citations are pending as local law enforcement officials continue to look into the incident.
