A 16-year-old bicyclist died late Sunday night after he ran a stop sign and struck a vehicle in an intersection in the city's Hermosa neighborhood on the West Side.
Dion Harris, of the 1600 block of North Kolmar Avenue, was pronounced dead at 11:16 p.m. at Mount Sinai Hospital, according to a spokesman for the Cook County medical examiner's office.
Harris was riding his bike in the 4500 block of West Grand Avenue when he disobeyed a stop sign at Kolmar Avenue and ran into the middle of traffic, said Police News Affairs Officer Robert Perez.
The teen struck a vehicle driving on Grand near Kolmar. There are no stop signs or traffic lights at that intersection in the direction the vehicle was traveling, Perez said.
The youth was taken in very serious condition to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.
The driver of the vehicle was briefly taken into custody and questioned, but no citations were issued
