Two men were killed in a hit-and-run crash early Thursday in the Park Manor neighborhood on the South Side.

The men were killed when another vehicle crashed into their vehicle at 1:04 a.m. in the 7100 block of South State Street, according to Chicago police.

A white Ford Fusion was traveling north at a high speed on the Dan Ryan exit ramp to State Street when it hit another vehicle, which was eastbound on 71st Street, police said. The driver of the Ford, described as a male wearing a black T-shirt and black sweatpants, left the scene.

An autopsy Thursday found both men died from multiple injuries he suffered in the crash. Their deaths were ruled accidents.

Moore lived in the Grand Crossing neighborhood and Clopton lived in the Englewood neighborhood, according to the medical examiner’s office.
