CHICAGO (CBS) — Chicago police are searching for a car involved in a deadly hit-and-run earlier this month on DuSbale Lake Shore Drive. 

Police said on Aug 10, a pedestrian was struck while crossing the street around 4:11 a.m. in the northbound lanes of the 1300 block of South DuSable Lake Shore Drive. 

The pedestrian was struck first by a vehicle that remained on the scene and reported the incident to Chicago Police. Shortly after, the wanted vehicle was traveling Northbound in the right lane on DuSable Lake Shore Drive and struck the pedestrian a second time.
