About 12:40 p.m., police and fire officials responded to the intersection of Deerfield and Piccadilly roads for a bicyclist struck by a vehicle, Highland Park Mayor Nancy Rotering said on Facebook.
The bicyclist was taken to Condell Medical Center in Libertyville, where she died, the mayor said. Her name wasn’t immediately released.
The striking vehicle left the scene, according to Rotering. Deerfield Road reopened hours after the crash.
