Chicago police arrested Ivory Buchanan, a 41-year-old Evanston woman, on Thursday.
Buchanan was allegedly driving when she struck and injured 61-year-old Jamie Drozier in the West Rogers Park neighborhood's 6100-block of North Ravenswood Avenue on Sunday, July 26.
Drozier's friends became concerned after he stopped answering calls and text messages on the day of the crash, which they said was his birthday. They filed a missing person report and poster flyers throughout his neighborhood, Edgewater.
According to the information shared by Drozier's neighbor, Ann Regan, he was crossing the street at Ravenswood and Ridge when a car hit him, causing head trauma.
Regan said Drozier lives alone and has no living relatives, but that a close friend was staying by his side at the hospital.
Police said Buchanan is charged with first-degree attempted murder and two counts of aggravated battery.
Further information was not immediately available.
