Six people were injured when a hit-and-run driver struck another car and then jumped a curb and struck a group of people standing on a sidewalk Saturday night in River North.

About 7:50 p.m., the driver of a 2012 black Chevy sedan was headed east when he struck a Toyota Prius in the 600 block of North Wabash Avenue, and then ran into four people who were standing on a sidewalk nearby, Chicago police said.

One of the pedestrians, a 26-year-old woman, was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where she was listed in critical condition, police said. Another woman, 28, and a 30-year-old man were taken to the same hospital in good condition. A second 30-year-old man was taken to Stroger Hospital in good condition.

A man and woman who were passengers in the Prius, both 30, were taken to Rush University Medical Center, where they were listed in good condition, police said. The driver of the Prius declined medical attention.

The driver of the Chevy continued driving and had not been taken into custody, officials said.
