A pedestrian was struck and killed by a vehicle over the weekend in Waukegan, the third traffic fatality involving pedestrians this month in Lake County, the coroner’s office said Monday.
The coroner identified the victim as Cheeramkulathu Jobgeevarghese, 64, of Waukegan. He was also known as Job Kurian, authorities said.
He was struck by a vehicle at 10:17 p.m. Friday near the intersection of York House Road and Newcastle Court. Police and firefighters said Jobgeevarghese was not responsive when they arrived, and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Other details about the accident were not immediately available. The crash remains under investigation.
Two other pedestrians were struck and killed earlier this month in Lake County. A fourth pedestrian died at a Lake County hospital this month after being struck by a vehicle in McHenry County.
