A 54-year-old Lisle man has been identified as the pedestrian who was struck and killed by a car Thursday on Route 53.

Lisle police continue to investigate the crash, but have not issued any citations to the driver whose car hit Thomas Stavenger, the department said in a news release Friday.

A witness reported that the man attempted to cross Route 53 between Lacey and Southport avenues when he was struck by the vehicle traveling south on Route 53, police said.

Lisle-Woodridge Fire District personnel rushed Stavenger to Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove, where he later died from his injuries.
