65-year-old woman killed in hit-and-run crash in Downers Grove identified
DOWNERS GROVE, Ill. - A 65-year-old woman was killed while crossing the street in a hit-and-run crash Thursday night in suburban Downers Grove.
The woman was crossing the road around 9 p.m. when she was struck by a small-to-midsize Honda or Acura SUV traveling westbound in the 600 block of West Ogden Avenue, according to Downer's Grove police.
Officers found the woman lying dead in the roadway. The medical examiner identified her as Robin Robinson, of Downers Grove.
Robinson's little sister, Annie Moore, says she walked everywhere and many in the area affectionately called her the "Ogden Walker." Moore says she will miss her sister's laugh most of all and she has a message for the person who caused her family's loss.
"Turn yourself in. Give yourself peace. Jesus loves you anyway. He's forgiven you. We forgive you. But we want you to turn yourself in so that justice can be served," Moore said.
Downers Grove police and the DuPage M.E.R.I.T. Major Crash Reconstruction Team are investigating.
Anyone with information on the crash is asked to contact Downer Grove's police at (630) 434-5600.
