ST. CHARLES (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- Authorities are questioning a person of interest in connection with a hit-and-run crash that left a 7-year-old girl critically injured Sunday in unincorporated St. Charles.
Brian Quartuccio, 42, turned himself in about 12:15 p.m. Monday and is speaking with investigators about the crash, according to a statement from the Kane County sheriff’s office.
No charges have been filed against Quartuccio and no warrant has been issued for his arrest, the sheriff’s office said. He is thought to live in the area near the site of the crash.
The girl, who also lives in the area, was riding a bicycle at 1:05 p.m. Sunday when she was hit by a black Dodge pickup, the sheriff’s office said. She was airlifted to Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge, where she is listed in critical condition.
The male driver left the scene of the crash, abandoned the truck a few blocks away and likely ran off, the sheriff’s office said.
He is described as a 5-foot-6, 120-pound white male with long hair pulled back into a pony tail, the sheriff’s office said. He was last seen wearing tan pants.
