According to police, 20-year-old Colleen Curry and 20-year-old Kaitlynn McNamara were crossing from the north side of Sunrise Highway to the south side near North Delaware Avenue just before midnight when they were struck by an unknown vehicle going westbound.
Police say the car sped away after hitting the women.
Both victims were taken to Good Samaritan Hospital. Police say Curry was seriously injured and McNamara suffered minor injuries.
