A woman who was struck by a car Tuesday night has died due to accident-related injuries, police said.

The Evanston woman, 60, was crossing the intersection of Oak Avenue and Lake Street at about 7 p.m. on Tuesday when she was hit by a car, police said. The Evanston fire department responded and found her unresponsive at the scene.

Paramedics transported her in critical condition to Evanston Hospital, where she died Wednesday morning due to the injuries she had sustained in the accident, police said.

Police have not filed any citations or charges against the driver of the car at this time, authorities said. Police said they saw no indication the driver, a 56-year-old woman from Skokie, was impaired or distracted at the time of the accident. The driver did not see the Evanston woman until she had hit her, police said.

The accident is still under investigation to determine if the pedestrian was outside of the crosswalk at the time of the crash, police said.

Police asked people via Twitter on Tuesday night to avoid the area around Oak Avenue and Lake Street as authorities investigated the accident.
