Pedestrian hit by car in Lake Villa

The Lake County Sheriff's Office is investigating a car versus pedestrian accident that injured a man on Route 59 in Lake Villa Thursday night.

Police responded to a report of a car hitting a pedestrian on Route 59 near Beach Avenue around 6:19 p.m., said Sgt. Scot Kurek.

The male pedestrian was talking and conscious at the scene, but was transported to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville with non life-threatening injuries, Kurek said.

The road was shut down for about 45 minutes due to the investigation, which caused some traffic issues in the area.

No one has been cited yet in the crash, and Kurek said the accident is still under investigation.
