A 45-year-old woman was crossing the street when she was hit by an eastbound maroon-colored vehicle, police said.

The woman was rushed to Mt. Sinai Hospital in critical condition.

The Cook County Medical Examiner's Office said the woman died Sunday at Accent Care at Macneal in Berwyn, nearly two weeks after the crash. She was identified as 45-year-old Lisa Barber of Chicago.

Chicago police said the driver in the hit-and-run crash fled the scene after the collision.

Carolyn Harvey lives across the street from the crash scene, and she told ABC7 the day after the crash that she saw police activity when she got home from work.

"I just saw the flashing light and the police in the boulevard," Harvey said.

People who live in the neighborhood say the stretch of Franklin Boulevard has long been a concern because of speeding traffic and dangerous driving behavior.

"Cars don't stop. Pedestrians try to walk across the street, but there's no help to help them across," Angel Rodriguez said.

Detectives with the Chicago Police Major Accidents Investigation Unit are investigating.

Police are asking anyone who may have seen a maroon-colored vehicle with possible front-end damage near Franklin Boulevard Monday night to contact police immediately.
