A 4-year-old pedestrian was killed in car collision Saturday evening

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.
