Fatal hit-and-run driver stopped, then drove over fallen pedestrian as she fled the scene: prosecutors

The tragic hit-and-run incident in West Town earlier this year has left a 66-year-old pedestrian dead, and a woman has been charged in connection with the crime. Iryna Kalach, 39, was identified as the driver of the 2022 Mitsubishi SUV that struck Halyan Hudzan in the 700 block of North Oakley on January 24.

According to prosecutors, Hudzan had the right-of-way and was in the crosswalk when Kalach’s vehicle hit her, causing her to fall to the ground. Instead of stopping to help, Kalach allegedly accelerated over Hudzan’s body, turned east on Chicago Avenue, and fled the scene without calling 911 or providing any assistance.

The Chicago Police Department’s Major Accident Investigation Unit released surveillance images of the vehicle involved in the hit-and-run, appealing to the public for information that could lead to the driver’s identification. Despite evidence suggesting Kalach’s involvement in the incident, Judge Mary Marubio initially considered detaining her but ultimately decided to release her with instructions to attend future court dates.

Kalach now faces charges of felony leaving the scene of a fatal crash and misdemeanor failure to render aid. The decision to release her has sparked controversy, especially considering the seriousness of the charges against her.

This case serves as a stark reminder of the importance of following traffic laws and taking responsibility for one’s actions on the road. The victim’s family and the community at large are seeking justice for this senseless tragedy, and they are hopeful that the legal system will hold Kalach accountable for her alleged actions.

As the investigation continues and the court proceedings unfold, the memory of Halyan Hudzan will remain in the hearts of those who knew her. The quest for justice will not waver, and the hope for closure for her loved ones remains strong.
