Arlington Heights police possibly caught up with one of the occupants of the hit-and-vehicle at Chestnut Avenue and Clarendon Street about five blocks west of the crash scene. While standing near the southeast corner of the intersection, police were questioning a male/Hispanic suspect, and questioning him in Spanish language to determine whether he was the driver of the hit-and-run vehicle.

From the appearance of the scene it did not seem that he was suspected to be the driver; but he may have been the second occupant who fled with the driver.

One or more people in the Lexus refused medical transportation.
