ROUND LAKE BEACH, Ill. – A 19-year-old man is wanted in connection with a hit-and-run during an illegal street race that left a 57-year-old victim injured over the weekend.
The incident occurred Saturday in the 1200 block of Lotus Drive when the victim confronted two vehicles believed to be involved in street racing. Police say one of the drivers, later identified as Nathien X. Guerra, struck the man with a Chevrolet pickup truck before fleeing the scene.
Investigators located and impounded the suspect’s truck shortly after the incident. Guerra has been charged with three felonies: leaving the scene of a personal injury accident, failure to remain at the scene, and aggravated battery.
Video footage appears to show the moment of impact. Authorities have issued an arrest warrant for Guerra and are urging anyone with information to contact Round Lake Beach Police.
