Bolingbrook Police Say They Know ID Of Driver In Fatal Hit-And-Run
(STMW) -- Police have identified the driver of the vehicle in a hit-and-run crash that left a 35-year-old woman dead over the weekend in southwest suburban Bolingbrook.
Tricia S. Hoyt of Orland Park was found dead at 10:54 a.m. Sunday in the grass on the north side of Frontage Road near Lawton Lane, according to Bolingbrook police and the Will County coroner's office.
Hoyt was struck by a vehicle in the road sometime between 11 p.m. Saturday and 1 a.m. Sunday, according to police. The driver left the scene and did not notify authorities.
