A pedestrian was killed and another seriously injured in a hit-and-run involving a semi-truck on I-55 in Bolingbrook, blocking traffic Friday morning.

Illinois State Police said at 3:16 a.m., a vehicle pulled over on the side of I-55 in the northbound lanes near Route 53 in Bolingbrook.

According to IDOT, the vehicle ran out of gas so the driver and the passenger got out. That's when they were struck by the semi, which then fled the scene.

The crash caused traffic backups for miles early Friday and into the morning rush as investigators gathered evidence.
