One man was killed and another was injured Monday evening after they were struck by a car during a hit-and-run collision in the West Ridge neighborhood on the North Side.
Tsering Dorjee, 44, was pronounced dead at St. Francis Hospital in Evanston at 11:30 p.m., according to the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office.
The other man, who is 46, was taken to the same hospital in "stable" condition, suffering a broken leg in the accident, said Police News Affairs Officer Amina Greer.
The two men were crossing a street near West Devon and North Maplewood Avenues about 6 p.m. when they were stuck by a motorist driving a dark-blue Volkswagen Beetle bearing Illinois license plate #P121817, police said.
No one was in custody early Tuesday as Area North detectives continued to investigate.
Anyone who witnessed the collision is asked to call the Major Accident Investigation Unit at (312) 745-4521.
