Fatal crash in West Philadelphia – NBC10 Philadelphia

A man crossing a busy West Philadelphia street was struck and killed by a speeding SUV driver who failed to stop early Friday morning, investigators said.

The fatal collision occurred around 1:20 a.m. along the 200 block of North 63rd Street, Philadelphia police said.

The driver – possibly in a white SUV – was traveling north “at a high rate of speed” when they struck a 67-year-old man, police said.

Medics rushed the man to a nearby hospital, where he died about two hours later, investigators said.

Police provided no further information about the fatal collision and did not name the victim.
