ELK GROVE VILLAGE, Ill. (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- A north suburban man is facing prison time after a fatal hit and run accident.
Prosecutors say Waldemar Buczak of Hampshire was driving the truck that struck and killed Jose Cobian, a Chicago resident as he rode his bicycle on Busse Road in Elk Grove Village last week.
It's alleged that Buczak stopped at the scene, but failed to render aid and eventually drove on. A witness called police, but Cobian was dead by the time officers arrived. Based on surveillace video, Buczak admitted he drove the truck, but at first said he didn't know he'd hit anyone.
He's facing a 15- year prison term.
