Driver pleads guilty to fleeing fatal hit-and-run crash in Chicago suburb: prosecutors
A man pleaded guilty to leaving the scene of a fatal crash in west suburban Sugar Grove after striking and killing a pedestrian in 2024, prosecutors said. Mark Wiskur, 47, pleaded guilty to leaving the scene of an accident involving death, a Class 1 felony, according to the Kane County State’s Attorney’s Office.The charge stems from a crash reported around 10:30 p.m. Oct. 12 near 1900 Fay’s Lane in Sugar Grove.Prosecutors said responding officers found 69-year-old Elaine Zielke lying in the street after being struck by a vehicle.The Sugar Grove Fire Protection District provided medical aid at the scene before Zielke was taken to Ascension Mercy Medical Center in Aurora, where she later died.Prosecutors said a preliminary cause of death determined Zielke suffered multiple injuries consistent with a vehicle-pedestrian crash.Authorities said the investigation lasted nine months and led to a July 22, 2025, indictment charging Wiskur with failing to remain at the scene of a crash involving death or injury.A warrant was issued for Wiskur’s arrest, and he later turned himself in to police that same day.Wiskur is scheduled to appear in court for sentencing at 1:30 p.m. Aug. 6 at the Kane County Judicial Center.
