Toddler killed in hit and run
Toddler killed in hit-and-run
August 19, 2006
BY LISA DONOVAN Staff Reporter
A toddler running out to say goodbye to a relative was accidentally struck and killed by the man's departing pickup truck Friday, neighbors said.
The 1-year-old boy, William Lopez, was taken to University of Chicago Hospitals. He was pronounced dead there at 12:35 p.m., according to the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office.
Police said they were still seeking the unidentified relative late Friday. They labeled the case a hit-and-run, saying the driver fled on foot, leaving his pickup behind. Neighbors, however, said the driver may not have known he hit the boy, and that it was an accident.
It happened just before noon in the 8900 block of South Muskegon in the South Chicago neighborhood. The relative was pulling away from the curb when the boy was hit, police said.
Late Friday, a memorial to the boy stood outside his family's two-story home. The memorial, shielded from the rain by a cabinet, contained teddy bears, other stuffed animals and religious candles.
