Missing Man Was Fatally Struck By Semi, Incident Was Not Hit-And-Run: State Police

TINLEY PARK, IL — A man killed on I-80 after being reported missing from a Tinley Park concert venue late Saturday was not a victim of a hit-and-run, Illinois State Police said Monday.

Timothy Fogt, 50, was fatally struck Sunday on I-80 eastbound west of Oak Park Avenue. Fogt had been reported missing after leaving Credit Union 1 Amphitheatre Saturday around 11 p.m. Family said Fogt was believed to be experiencing a mental health crisis at the time.

A report of a crash involving a pedestrian and semi truck was reported just after midnight Sunday. The pedestrian had been struck in the center lane, state police said.

Just before 11 a.m. Sunday, Tinley Park police and fire notified state police of a pedestrian—later confirmed by family to be Fogt—found deceased on a median near the crash site.

Fogt was pronounced dead on the scene.

The crash is not classified as a hit-and-run, state police said. Reports that the driver left the scene are unsubstantiated, according to officials.

An investigation is ongoing.

Fogt's remains are awaiting an autopsy by the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office.
