A gray sedan traveling near South Kostner Avenue and West 14th Street in the Lawndale neighborhood on the West Side struck and killed Robert Blount, a 55-year old man riding a bicycle, and then proceeded to strike a 45-year-old man walking nearby. Robert Blount was pronounced dead at Mount Sinai Hospital and the pedestrian was listed in stable condition at Mount Sinai.
