(EVANSTON) A 60-year-old woman died after she was struck by a car Tuesday night in at an intersection in north suburban Evanston.

A vehicle heading eastbound on Lake Street stopped at Oak Street and waited for a vehicle to cross northbound, then went through the intersection, striking the woman about 7 p.m., according to Evanston police.

Juili Anne Meurice, of the 1200 block of Ridge in Evanston, was taken to Evanston Hospital where she was pronounced dead at 8:57 a.m. Wednesday, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
