Sheriff: Pedestrian killed after lying in road near Mundelein

A 42-year-old Mundelein-area man was killed when he was struck by two vehicles after lying in the road late Sunday night, Lake County authorities said Monday.

The Lake County coroner's office identified him as Brett Mild.

According to the Lake County sheriff's office, Mild left a bar in the area of Route 60/83 and Taylor Lake Court about 10:50 p.m. Sunday and then, for an unknown reason, lay in the southbound lane of Route 60/83. He was wearing dark, non-contrasting clothing at the time, sheriff's police said.

A southbound Honda Accord driven by a 21-year-old Mundelein man struck Mild first, authorities said. Soon after, a southbound Nissan Murano driven by a 34-year-old Volo hit Mild.

Sheriff's deputies called to the scene found Mild dead. The drivers were not injured, authorities said.

The coroner's office has scheduled an autopsy for Tuesday. The crash remains under investigation.
