Police will use list to find Hummer’s mystery driver

by Beth Murtagh and Laura Olson

March 03, 2006

Evanston Police Department officials received a list of registered Hummer H2’s in Illinois within the last week to aid the search for the driver of the yellow Hummer that struck a Weinberg senior in February.

“We’re looking at that information and trying to put it into usable form,” said Deputy Chief Joe Bellino of EPD. “It’s quite extensive.”

Bellino declined to say how many vehicles were on the list, which was compiled by the Illinois Secretary of State’s office.

An unidentified driver ran a stop sign at the Lake Street and Sherman Avenue on Feb. 16 and struck the bicyclist. The driver then drove away. There is no description of the driver.

The student suffered fractures to her leg, jaw, pelvic area and face, and she will undergo three months of physical therapy before walking again.

The Chicagoland Bicycle Federation held an event at the accident’s scene Feb. 24. EPD Chief Frank Kaminski and Evanston Bicycle Club President Neal Ney were among the speakers at the event, which promoted a Chicagoland Bicycle Federation campaign meant to curb aggressive driving.

EPD asks that people who might have information pertaining to the investigation call (847) 866-5000.
