A 79-year-old woman was struck by a car and seriously injured Wednesday afternoon on Big Hollow Road near Leonard Avenue in Ingleside.

According to the Lake County Sheriff’s Office, the woman appeared to have been walking on the roadway about 1:50 p.m. when she was struck by a Nissan Altima heading east driven by a 41-year-old Wood Dale woman.
