Kenosha County sheriff's officials are looking for the driver of a Jeep Grand Cherokee that may have been involved in a fatal hit-and-run incident involving two bicyclists just north of the Illinois-Wisconsin border.
The Jeep was found at a house in Spring Grove, Wisc., said Sgt. Gil Benn of the Kenosha County Sheriff's Department. But, he said, the owner of the house was not driving the vehicle Saturday night when it struck and killed a Chicago man and left a McHenry man injured on Wilmot Road in Wilmot, Wisc.
In addition, he said the SUV with a missing passenger-side mirror is registered to someone in Walworth County.
"The Jeep is used on a regular basis by someone else that isn't the registered owner," Benn said. "So, we are looking for that person and want to talk with him."
Benn said detectives have spoken with the Spring Grove homeowner and the Jeep's owner, but neither were driving it Saturday.
"We are having trouble locating the person who was said to be driving the Jeep," he said. "But, that person is definitely someone we want to speak with."
Gordon M. Kleifield, 46, of 7414 N. Kedzie Ave. in Chicago was killed and Daniel J. Dugan, 44, of McHenry, suffered minor injuries in the accident about three miles north of the border.
Sheriff officials are asking anyone with information about the accident to contact them at (262) 605-5100.
