HAMPSHIRE, IL – A 27-year-old woman from Pinegrove was killed in a hit-and-run collision that occurred on U.S. 20 on Monday, NBCChicago reports. 

The incident occurred before 1 a.m. north of Harmony Road. A person driving an unspecified vehicle struck the Pinegrove woman before fleeing the scene prior to Hampshire Police’s arrival.
