Juan Bello, 57, was also charged with leaving the scene of an accident and was cited for failing to yield to a pedestrian, driving too fast for conditions, and driving on a revoked license.

Nikkii Bostic-Jones, 37, was thrown onto the road and pinned under a sheriff's car when she was hit by Bello's van as she crossed the street outside the Cook County jail on her way to work late Wednesday night, authorities said.
