14-Year-Old Boy In Stable Condition After Hit-And-Run In Palos Park: Police

PALOS PARK, IL — A 14-year-old boy riding an e-bike was hit by a pickup truck Monday evening that did not stop after striking the boy, Palos Park police said.

Around 9:40 p.m. the boy was crossing 80th Avenue east to west on an e-bike on 127th Street, when police said the boy got clipped by a pickup truck.

The teen was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where he is listed in stable condition from a broken collarbone and road rash, or abrasions.

Chief Joe Miller, of the Palos Park Police Department, told Patch that the truck appeared to be a dark-colored Ford F150 with a 4-door club cab.

“Cameras picked up the truck traveling northbound on 80th Avenue before turning eastbound on 123rd Street after he makes contact with the e-bike,” Miller said. “We are working on getting an image of the plate number.”

Anyone who recognizes the vehicle or has information about the crash, is asked to contact the Palos Park Police Department at 708-448-2191.
