A woman was critically injured and her 4-year-old daughter is clinging to life after being struck by a car Tuesday evening in the South Side Englewood neighborhood.
Two ambulances were sent to the 7400 block of South Ashland Avenue at 6:36 p.m. after a car struck two pedestrians, police News Affairs Officer Daniel O’Brien said.
A mother and her 4-year-old daughter were struck by the car, according to Fire Media Affairs Dir. Larry Langford.
The woman was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn in critical condition with multiple fractures and her 4-year-old daughter was taken to University of Chicago Comer Children’s Hospital in “extremely critical” condition, Langford said.
Traffic closures were in effect at 7 p.m. as crews investigated the crash, O’Brien said. It was unclear whether the driver of the car stayed at the scene or was initially issued any citations.
