Alsip, IL – A serious traffic incident in Alsip resulted in a pedestrian being critically injured on Friday. The accident occurred around 1:30 p.m. when a 29-year-old man was struck by a vehicle as he attempted to cross Cicero Avenue at the intersection with 122nd Street. Emergency responders were quick to the scene, where they found the victim with severe injuries.
Following the collision, Cicero Avenue was closed in both directions from 127th Street to 115th Street, disrupting traffic for several hours.
