NextImg:Bicyclist killed by possibly drunken driver in Lincoln Square: cops

Police are investigating the death of a 59-year-old man who was riding a bicycle when a car being driven by a possibly intoxicated motorist hit him Monday night in the Ravenswood neighborhood.

The Edgewater neighborhood bicyclist was northbound in the 5100 block of North Damen Avenue when he was hit by a Volvo being driven by a 30-year-old woman at 7:54 p.m., according to a police report.

Witnesses flagged down police when they saw the crash and the Volvo drive away. Officers pulled it over and the driver consented to a Breathalyzer test, which registered a .20 blood-alcohol concentration, which is more than twice the legal limit of .08, according to the report.

The still-unidentified biker suffered trauma to the head and body and was taken to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead at 8:32 p.m., according to police.

The motorist was taken to a hospital for more tests, which she declined and detectives continue to investigate, according to the report.

Police reported no citations or charges as of Tuesday morning.
