Driver's Parent Calls Police After Car Hits Beach Park Bicyclist

BEACH PARK. IL — Deputies from the Lake County Sheriff's Department responded to Sheridan Road and Mawman Avenue in Beach Park at 1:20 a.m. Saturday after a car hit a bicyclist before driving away, an hour before the driver's parent called police, according to the sheriff's office. Deputies found a 63-year-old man from Waukegan laying on the road with serious injuries, the sheriff's office said. The sheriff's office said the man was going northbound on the bike when he was hit by a northbound car, which drove off after hitting the bicyclist.

He was taken to Vista East Medical Center in Waukegan where he's being treated for serious, but non life-threatening injuries, according to the sheriff's office.

After deputies were at the first spot for an hour, someone called from the 2600 block of Gilboa Avenue in Zion, reporting their 20-year-old daughter hit a person on Sheridan Road.

Crash investigators went to the driver's home and found her and the car, the sheriff's office said, adding that the woman cooperated with investigators, and the car — a 2016 Chevrolet — was taken by authorities for the investigation.

Right now no charges have been filed.
