Woman, 62, Struck by Vehicle in Grayslake Hit-and-Run

Authorities are continuing to investigate a hit-and-run involving a 62-year-old woman who was struck by a vehicle earlier this month in Grayslake.

The white vehicle struck the woman right outside the Grayslake Metra Station at 7:14 p.m.on Nov. 16, Grayslake Police Chief Phillip Perlini said Monday. The vehicle then fled northbound.

Witnesses told police the vehicle was white and possibly had front-end damage, Perlini said. The 62-year-old Grayslake woman was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The woman was later released from Advocate Condell Medical Center, according to the Daily Herald.
Grayslake Police Deputy Chief Jeff Myhra told the Daily Herald the woman was struck from behind while walking home from the Metra station and has “no recollection of what happened.”
