A woman died Friday night after she and another pedestrian were hit by a vehicle that was involved in a crash on the Northwest Side.
One vehicle was westbound just after 9 p.m. in the 4700 block of West Addison when it hit a second vehicle that was turning from Addison onto Keating, according to Chicago Police. The first vehicle then hit two pedestrians before crashing into a building.
One of the pedestrians, 58-year-old Edith Guevara, was taken to Illinois Masonic Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead at 10:02 p.m., police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office said. She lived in the Belmont Gardens neighborhood on the Northwest Side. An autopsy Saturday showed she died from multiple blunt force injuries and her death was ruled an accident.
The other pedestrian, a 54-year-old man, was also taken to Masonic, where his condition was stabilized, police said. The 28-year-old woman who was driving the second vehicle was taken to Community First Medical Center, where her condition was also stabilized.
The 65-year-old woman driving the first vehicle refused medical treatment and was cited for failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident and failure to keep in a lane, police said. The crash remains under investigation by the police Major Accidents Investigation Unit.
