Illinois: Will County Sheriff working to determine the extent that booze, along with a huge dose of stupidity, played in death of Daniel Lietke, who laid down in road after drinking and was run over; drinking driver fled

Witness’ statements indicate that Mr. Lietke was walking along the roadway with a friend when he walked out onto the road and proceeded to lie down on his back in the middle of the lane. Shortly after, a vehicle traveling north avoided the subject. The driver of that vehicle stopped a short distance away and was witness to a second vehicle, which was also traveling northbound, run over Lietke. The vehicle, an Oldsmobile Pacifica, continued north on Larkin away from the scene of the accident.
