Police have released an image of the vehicle from the hit-and-run crash that critically injured Alex Betzel, 31, on her bike last Wednesday, February 10 in Avondale. Meanwhile, a GoFundMe page has been launched to help pay for Betzel’s recovery expenses.
According to Chicago Police News Affairs, on Wednesday around 2:20 p.m., Betzel was cycling north on the 3500 block on North Kimball Avenue, just south of Addison Street, when a driver in the left hand land struck her while attempting to change lanes to turn right onto Addison. The motorist then ran over Betzel with the back of the vehicle before continuing to flee east on Addison. Betzel was transported to Illinois Masonic Hospital in critical condition.
