Woman dies, man injured after being struck by vehicle in Mundelein
Two pedestrians were struck by a vehicle while crossing Butterfield Road in Mundelein late Tuesday, killing a 37-year-old woman and seriously injuring a 39-year-old man.
Mundelein police said the couple were westbound crossing Butterfield Road just after 11:30 p.m. when they were struck by the southbound vehicle. It is unclear if the couple were at a crosswalk or elsewhere in the road.
Both were taken to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville, where the woman later died from injuries she sustained. The man remains hospitalized.
The unnamed 67-year-old driver of the vehicle that struck the pair was uninjured.
The crash remains under investigation by Lake County's Major Crash Assistance Team.
Police noted a second, unrelated crash occurred shortly afterward that resulted in minor injuries to one of the drivers. That driver was also taken to Condell
