Police in northwest suburban Des Plaines are looking for the driver involved in a hit-and-run crash Friday night that killed a 17-year-old boy.
The teenager was found at 6:20 p.m. lying in the westbound lanes at 906 E. Algonquin Rd., according to a release from Des Plaines police. He was about 50 feet east of South Third Avenue.
The driver fled the scene before police arrived, the release said. No other details were available.
The victim was pronounced dead at 6:34 p.m. Friday at Advocate Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge but remained unidentified early this morning, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.
The Cook County medical examiner's office said a male teen victim had been brought in, but an autopsy had yet to be performed and the office had no other information.
Anyone with information is asked to call Des Plaines police at 847-391-5400, Crime Stoppers, or text an anonymous tip by beginning the message with "ICARE," and sending information to "CRIMES" or "274637.?
