Authorities released images Tuesday of a tan-colored, four-door SUV, believed to be a 1995-2000 Jeep, which they say struck a 42-year-old woman as she walked in a crosswalk around 8:30 p.m. Monday in the 900 block of South Pulaski.

The vehicle was traveling southbound at the time of the crash and continued southbound on Pulaski after the accident, police said.

The woman was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital by Chicago firefighters, but was ultimately pronounced dead.
