A 28-year-old man was ordered held on $200,000 bail Sunday in connection with a hit-and-run crash that critically injured a pedestrian.
Rolando Berrios-Rio, of the 2600 block of North Ridgeway, drove through a red light in the 1000 block of West Irving Park Road about 1:15 p.m. Friday, Chicago Police said. He struck a 20-year-old Glenview man who was taken to Illinois Masonic Medical Center where he suffered bleeding on his brain, according to court records.
A separate vehicle T-boned Berrios-Rio’s vehicle. The driver of that car suffered minor injuries.
Berrios-Rio allegedly pulled over and parked down the block from the crash and walked back to see the injured pedestrian before running away, a prosecutor said during his bond hearing.
He was arrested about eight hours later and admitted to police he drove the car that hit the pedestrian, according to court records.
Berrios-Rio faces a felony count of leaving the scene of an accident, as well as misdemeanor counts of driving without a license and disobeying a red light, police said.
