CHICAGO (WLS) Three Illinois Department of Transportation workers were hurt in a hit-and-run crash on the Kennedy Expressway early Thursday morning, Illinois State Police said.
The crash occurred about 1:40 a.m. on the inbound side of the Kennedy at Harlem Avenue, near Chicago s Northwest Side Norwood Park neighborhood, police said. The IDOT workers were putting out cones for a closure and were inside their work vehicle with flashing lights when they were rear-ended by a driver in a gray car, according to police. The impact forced the IDOT truck off the road.
The female driver then took off running from the scene, leaving her car behind, police said. Officials know who the suspect is but had not yet found her as of later Thursday morning.
