Woman, 22, Dies After Struck By 2 Cars On Kedzie: Hazel Crest PD

HAZEL CREST, IL — Hazel Crest police are urging witnesses to come forward after a 22-year-old woman was struck by two cars, and later died of her injuries.

Police were called at 11:20 p.m. August 1 to 173rd and Kedzie Avenue, for a report of a pedestrian hit by a car. Witnesses told police that a woman—identified as Tamia Costello of Park Forest—had been struck by a white SUV that fled the scene north on Kedzie, Police Chief Mitchell Davis said in a release.

As she lay in the street and witnesses tried to stop traffic, Costello was struck a second time, by a black sedan northbound on Kedzie. That car also did not stop, police said.

Costello was taken to Advocate South Suburban Hospital in Hazel Crest. She died Sunday, August 4, the Cook County Medical Examiner's office said.

Davis is asking anyone who witnessed the incident or who may have video or other information to contact Hazel Crest Police Department at (708) 335-9640.

Police are not able to share photos or video as of Tuesday, due to investigative efforts, Davis said.
