Hampshire, IL, (July 06, 2026) — A 27-year-old bicyclist was killed in a hit-and-run crash early Monday in Hampshire.
According to police, Ebony Calvillo, of Hampshire, was struck by a car at approximately 12:40 a.m. on Route 20, north of Big Timber Road. Calvillo was found dead in the roadway. The vehicle that struck her allegedly left the scene, and investigators are actively searching for the driver responsible.
Apprehending a hit-and-run driver who flees the scene of an accident can be a difficult task.
Alongside the diligent work carried out by police, an experienced attorney can help by deploying an investigator to track down witnesses, review security camera footage, and gather additional evidence. Roughly 11 percent of all crashes involve a driver who flees the scene.
Candice Bond, an experienced hit-and-run accident attorney, said that in cases like this, launching an independent investigation led by a seasoned attorney is essential to protecting a victim’s rights.
“Having the right resources on hand is crucial to properly investigate a hit-and-run case and establish negligence,” said Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal and national analyst for Accident Injury News. “Road conditions, signage visibility, and lighting are all potential contributing factors that must be carefully considered and examined. These steps are essential in helping a family who has lost a loved one to a hit-and-run driver receive the justice and financial compensation they deserve.”
Ebony Calvillo’s family members may have grounds to pursue a wrongful death claim. Relatives of wrongful death victims can seek damages for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress following a tragic or catastrophic accident.
“We know firsthand what families endure in situations like this, and making sure their rights are protected matters enormously,” said Stefano Formica, Of Counsel with Bond Legal. “A wrongful death attorney keeps close track of the official investigation as it unfolds and works to safeguard the family’s best interests. Loved ones of wrongful death victims have the right to pursue damages for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress stemming from a tragic or catastrophic accident.”
