Elderly Couple Killed in Tragic Accident on Chicago’s Southwest Side
Tragedy struck on Sunday morning in the Garfield Ridge neighborhood of Chicago, as an elderly man and woman lost their lives after being struck by a pickup truck while crossing the street. The incident occurred at approximately 8:50 a.m. in the 6100 block of South Archer Avenue.
The victims, identified as 74-year-old Ryseard Stebnicki and 71-year-old Zofia Chruszcz, were in the crosswalk when they were hit by a Ford F150 driven by a 43-year-old man. Both pedestrians were rushed to nearby hospitals, with the male victim taken to Christ Hospital and the female victim to Loyola Hospital. Tragically, despite medical efforts, both individuals succumbed to their injuries.
The driver of the pickup truck remained at the scene and was cited for “Pedestrian in the Roadway – Due Care,” according to the Chicago Police Department. No further citations or charges have been filed at this time, as detectives continue their investigation into the circumstances surrounding the accident.
The Cook County Medical Examiner confirmed the identities of the deceased victims, both of whom resided on South McVicker Avenue in Garfield Ridge. The loss of Stebnicki and Chruszcz has undoubtedly left a void in their community, as friends, family, and neighbours come to terms with the tragic event.
