Bicyclist struck and killed by unknown vehicle in Elk Grove

A bicyclist was struck and killed by an unknown vehicle Thursday night in Elk Grove Village, police said Friday.

The crash occurred at 9:21 p.m. on Louis Avenue just west of Busse Road, and the bicyclist succumbed to his injuries, police said.

Deputy Police Chief Daniel Burke said the driver left the scene of the crash, but Burke declined to provide a description of the vehicle, saying it's still under investigation.

Authorities only identified the victim as a resident of Chicago. An autopsy performed Friday at the Cook County medical examiner's office confirmed the bicyclist died of multiple injuries sustained in the motor vehicle accident.

The crash is being investigated by the Elk Grove Village Police Department Traffic Section with assistance from the multijurisdictional Major Case Assistance Team.

Anyone with information about the crash is asked to contact police at (847) 357-4100.
