Another drinking and driving tragedy?
No way to prove it now as the driver ran off. As did the passenger.
Leaving the woman to die, nice fellows.
A pickup peeled out from the parking lot of a South Side bar early Sunday, crushing and killing a woman who had been running alongside it in high heels, a police report said.
Patricia Prado, 35, suffered head trauma and was pronounced dead at the scene in the 3700 block of Roosevelt Avenue.
The driver and a passenger in the pickup, both unidentified men, fled and had not been found on Sunday.

According to witnesses, Prado approached the pickup around 2 a.m. outside the bar when the driver suddenly accelerated. Running alongside the truck, she slipped and fell under its tires.
Police are investigating the incident not as a homicide, but as a failure to stop the truck following the fatal accident, police spokesman Joe Rios said.
