The person struck and killed by a car Monday night on Richmond Road in Johnsburg has been identified as a local woman.
Abigale Fugett, 23, apparently struck by a vehicle as she crossed the intersection of Running Brook Farm and North Richmond Road, according to the McHenry County Coroner’s Office.
Fugett was taken by the McHenry Township Fire Protection District to Northwestern Medicine McHenry Hospital following the 7:26 p.m. incident, officials at the fire district said.
An autopsy is set for Friday, Coroner Michael Rein said in a news release, adding that his office is working with Johnsburg police and the fire district on the investigation.
