ST. JOHN | A 15-year-old St. John boy died early Tuesday from injuries he suffered in an accident Monday night.
Jonathan Guzman, a pedestrian, was hit by a car at 5:36 p.m. Monday at 85th and Parrish avenues.
He was taken to Franciscan St. Margaret Health in Dyer with critical injuries and was later flown to the University of Chicago Comer Children's Hospital, where he died at 2:30 a.m. Tuesday, police said.
