CHICAGO HEIGHTS\u00a0(STMW)\u00a0 — A man was struck and killed as he stood outside a disabled car on a highway in the south suburbs early Sunday.<\/p>\n

\nThe accident happened about 2:40 a.m., on Illinois Route 394 and East Joe Orr Road in Chicago Heights early Sunday, according to an Illinois State Police District Chicago trooper.<\/p>\n

\nLuis Valdivia-Segoviano, 39, of the 100 block of S. Halsted in Chicago Heights, was struck by an automobile on Illinois Route 394, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office. No pronouncement time was immediately available.<\/p>\n

\nThe victim’s car which he was driving broke down, causing him to call a friend for help, according to Illinois State Police District Chicago Master Sgt. <\/span>Joe Stangl. His friend arrived and both were standing outside of the disabled Pontiac when a sport-utility vehicle drove by and struck them, Stangl.<\/p>\n

\nThe victim died soon thereafter, according to an Illinois State Police District Chicago trooper.<\/p>\n

\nThe victim’s friend was taken in critical condition to Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove, Stangl said.<\/p>\n

\nThe driver of the SUV left the scene but later called 911 to report that they had been involved in a crash, Stangl said. The driver was in custody and police were conducting interviews with the driver.
\nNo citations had been issued as of 6 a.m.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
