Police search for driver who killed Chicago woman
CHICAGO — Police in Chicago are searching for the driver in a hit-and-run accident that killed a 43-year-old woman in the city's Uptown neighborhood.
Authorities say they believe the driver plowed into Beverly Akerson as she was crossing the street, before stopping, putting the car in reverse and hitting her again.
Akerson was struck early Saturday and died about eight hours later.
Police say they have two photos from a nearby surveillance camera that they're hoping will lead to an arrest.
Investigators say the car is a light-colored, four-door sedan that might have front end damage.
