Family member recounts moment uncle was fatally struck by hit-and-run driver on Southwest Side

A father of four killed in a hit-and-run crash on Chicago's Southwest Side on Tuesday night has been identified.

Police said the victim was on the street near the sidewalk in the 6800 block of South Pulaski Road when he was hit by an orange Honda Pilot just before 11:15 p.m.

The car fled the scene. Surveillance video from different angles captured the moments leading up to the horrific incident.

The victim, identified as 53-year-old Enrique Nieto, was taken to Christ Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. He was a construction worker and the father of four children

CBS News Chicago spoke to the victim's nephew, Cesar Nieto, who said he brought his uncle a spare tire before the crash. At one point, he got into his own car parked behind Enrique's to turn on the headlights for more light.

"It was like a blur," he said.

Cesar said Enrique was changing the tire when he was hit by the orange car and dragged nearly 30 feet. 

"I was next to him. So I jumped out of the way, I was closer to the back bumper," Cesar said. "He was by the tire, like crouched down, and the truck hit his truck." 

Cesar said he tried to keep his uncle alive by talking to him and staying with him until paramedics arrived. 

"I mean, I was just trying to like keep him breathing, talking to him," he said.

No arrests have been made. 

Major Accident detectives are investigating.
