A four-year-old pedestrian was killed in an Avalon Park collision Saturday night.
The child was on the 8100 block of South Harper Avenue around 5:30 p.m. when a pick-up truck turning north struck him. He was taken to Comer Children’s Hospital and pronounced dead.
Hours later, a second crash involving two vehicles killed a 40-year-old male in Roger’s Park.
The adult male was driving a motorcycle across town around 10:30 p.m. when he hit a vehicle making a U-turn. He was taken to St. Francis Hospital and pronounced dead.
The driver of the vehicle was also hospitalized and is in good condition.
The driver in Avalon Park was cited for a failure to yield, though police said investigations into both incidents are ongoing.
