'Tragic Accident': Drivers Who Hit Man On Harlem Avenue Remained On Scene, Cooperated With Police

TINLEY PARK, IL — Two drivers who hit a man as he crossed Harlem Avenue Saturday night in Tinley Park remained on the scene and cooperated with police, police said Sunday.

The man, 60, was crossing Harlem Avenue at 183rd Street when he was struck by two vehicles, police said. He was pronounced dead at the scene; his name has not yet been released as of Sunday morning.

Both drivers voluntarily submitted to a breathalyzer, with neither showing any sign of impairment, said Deputy Police Chief Brian McDermott, who referred to the incident as a "tragic accident."

Reports that the incident was a hit-and-run were inaccurate, police said.

Police were at the scene as of 6:30 p.m., and northbound Harlem Avenue was closed for several hours while police investigated.

The roadway reopened at 1:20 a.m.
