(WBBM NEWSRADIO) — A 57-year-old Chicago man has been charged in connection with a hit-and-run collision this week that killed a bicyclist in Old Irving Park.
Phil Pinkawa faces one felony count of failure to report a fatal accident, Chicago police announced Friday.
He allegedly is the driver of the vehicle that struck 22-year-old Nick Parlingayan on Wednesday night in the 3800 block of North Milwaukee Avenue. Police say the vehicle drove away after the collision.
Parlingayan's death is the third involving a bicyclist in Chicago this year. Safety advocates have said it demonstrates how the city could be doing more to make biking safer.
Pinkawa is expected in court Saturday, police said.
