Pedestrian hit by two cars while crossing street on Chicago's Northwest Side

CHICAGO (CBS)-- A man was hit by two cars while crossing the street in Irving Park overnight. 

One of the drivers did not stop to help the 55-year-old who is now in critical condition at Illinois Masonic Hospital. 

Just before 1 a.m., the man was crossing the street on West Irving Park Road at the Kennedy Expressway when a gray pickup truck hit him and drove off. 

A black Jeep then also hit the man. The driver stopped and called police. 

A CTA commuter told CBS 2 she feels this intersection is dangerous for commuters using the CTA Blue line nearby. 

"I try to pay a lot of attention," Isabel Empen said. "The cars don't stop at the stoplight."

Police are investigating.
