A hit-and-run crash early Saturday morning at the intersection of Green Street and Mathews Avenue near the Illini Union in Urbana, Illinois, killed 22-year-old Perry Lee and injured a University of Illinois police officer. The incident occurred around 2:13 a.m. when a red Buick Verano traveling the wrong way on a one-way street collided with a UIPD patrol car, sending the vehicle onto a sidewalk and striking Lee, who died at Carle Hospital. The suspect fled on foot and remains at large.
