One pedestrian severely injured near 3611 N LAKE SHORE DR in Lake View
A pedestrian was severely injured after a Thursday evening collision in Lake View on November 6, 2025 at 8:47 PM.
The crash occurred near 3611 N LAKE SHORE DR, on an undivided road. The posted speed limit was 25 mph. It was dark but with streetlights, the weather was clear, and the roadway was dry. The police report attributed the cause of the crash to failing to yield right of way; and, secondarily, to failing to reduce speed to avoid a crash.
A 2015 Ford Escape was heading north. The police report described the driver, a 26-year-old woman, as failing to yield. She was wearing a seat belt and her airbag did not deploy; she was uninjured. One other passenger was uninjured.
A 23-year-old woman (pedestrian) was wearing contrasting clothing. The police report described her as crossing the roadway where there were no traffic controls; she reportedly suffered incapacitating injuries.
Police were notified at 8:47 PM. This was the 304th injurious crash reported in November 2025, and the 15,610th injurious crash reported in 2025.
