The Lake County Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s assistance while investigating a serious Long Grove hit-and-run traffic crash Sunday afternoon.
The Lake County Sheriff’s Office is asking those who have a dash camera and traveled on Route 53, anywhere between Route 83 and Lake Cook Road, in Long Grove on Sunday, August 18, 2024, between 4:10 p.m. and 4:20 p.m., to contact the Lake County Sheriff’s Office.
At approximately 4:15 p.m., sheriff’s deputies responded to Route 53, west of Robert Parker Coffin Road, for a hit-and-run traffic crash, involving a bicyclist. Preliminary investigation shows the bicyclist, a 63-year-old man of Kildeer, was traveling south on Route 53 on the shoulder of the roadway. The driver of a gray pickup truck was also traveling south. The driver of the pickup truck passed a slower vehicle by driving onto the shoulder and into the grass. As the driver made this illegal maneuver, they struck the bicyclist and fled southbound on Route 53.
The bicyclist was initially transported to Northwest Community Hospital with serious injuries and later was transferred to Advocate Lutheran General Hospital, as his condition deteriorated. He remains in critical condition.
The Lake County Sheriff’s Office is asking that anyone who might have a dash camera, including commercial vehicles with cameras, to contact the Lake County Sheriff’s Office Technical Crash Investigations Team at 847-377-4000.
