A 50-year-old woman was killed after she was struck by a black sedan Saturday in Lawndale on the West Side, police said.

She was standing on the street about 12:49 a.m. in the 1600 block of South Homan Avenue when someone southbound “at a high rate of speed” in a black sedan hit her, Chicago police said. The driver of the sedan fled the scene.
