ELGIN (WBBM NEWSRADIO) - A man from far northwest suburban Hampshire has died after his mom hit him with her SUV Wednesday.
Eighty-five-year-old Justine Ackmann was moving her 2016 Lincoln SUV on her driveway in unincorporated Elgin when, the Kane County Sheriff said, her foot slipped off the brake and onto the gas. The sheriff’s office said her son had walked in front of the car on Romeo Drive and was hit a little before 1 p.m.
Sixty-three-year-old Steven Ackmann was treated at the scene but died a short time later.
The sheriff’s office said it’s not clear how fast the SUV was moving and too early to determine if drugs or alcohol contributed to the crash.
