A woman is recovering and has been moved out of the ICU after she was struck by a hit-and-run vehicle in Round Lake Beach and left in serious condition last weekend.
The Round Lake Beach Police Department and Greater Round Lake Fire Protection District responded around 7:50 p.m. Saturday to the area of Rollins Road and Oak Avenue for a pedestrian struck by a vehicle.
Police said a 45-year-old woman was attempting to cross Rollins Road near the Advance Auto Parts.
She was struck by an unknown vehicle that was traveling eastbound on Rollins Road.
The vehicle did not stop after the crash and fled the area, police said.

The woman’s mother said her daughter was awake and talking.
