Yogini Tailor, 54, is facing felony hit-and-run charges after being involved in an accident involving several pedestrians on Wednesday.
At around 11 a.m., Yogini, a Des Plaines native, apparently lost control of her car on the 8500 block of Menard Avenue in Morton Grove, and struck three people: a couple in their twenties with a 2-year-old daughter. The couple’s dog was also hit.
After hitting the family, Tailor remained in her car for several minutes, and then suddenly left the scene. Police caught her shortly afterwards.
The victims were hospitalized with serious, although non-life-threatening injuries. The father appears to be the most seriously injured, having been dragged by the car for several feet. He suffered multiple broken bones. The child has since been released, with injuries to her face.
