The coroner has released the identity of a 39-year-old man who was fatally struck by an SUV on Route 120 on the border of Park City and Waukegan Friday evening.
An autopsy performed Monday showed Christopher Hall, 39, of Park City, died as a result of blunt force injuries from a vehicle collision, according to Lake County Coroner Jennifer Banek.
The Park City Police Department, Waukegan Fire Department, Gurnee Fire Department and Waukegan Police Department responded around 6:45 p.m. Friday to the area of Belvidere Road and Staben Avenue in Park City.
911 callers reported a pedestrian had been struck by a vehicle. The pedestrian, later identified as Hall, was unconscious and not breathing and CPR was started.
The 911 callers initially gave locations of the McDonald’s in Park City and also the Burger King in Waukegan, which prompted the dual response on the border of the two cities.
Fire officials said they arrived and confirmed Hall was critically injured.
The crash occurred on Belvidere Road just east of Staben Avenue in front of Armanetti Beverage Depot in Park City.
The victim was pronounced dead at the scene. No one in the vehicle was injured, fire officials said.
The incident involved a newer-model gray Acura SUV, which remained at the scene.
The vehicle sustained a broken front windshield, a broken passenger side mirror and damage to the front passenger side hood.
The Lake County Major Crash Assistance Team (MCAT) was requested to the scene to conduct a crash investigation.
Police have not provided details on the cause of the crash yet.
The incident remains under investigation by the Park City Police Department and MCAT.
