A hit-and-run driver can cause serious injuries to victims and make it harder to obtain compensation for losses. It is critical to work with a Philadelphia hit-and-run accident attorney if you are the victim of such an event.
Woman Killed on Expressway
According to police reports, a 21-year-old woman was struck while walking along the westbound lanes of Schuylkill Expressway near the Girard Avenue exit ramp. The driver struck the woman and immediately fled the scene. However, police recovered some information about the vehicle thanks to the white paint transfer that occurred at the time of the crash.
The Philadelphia police are asking the public to step forward with any information they may have to help find the at-fault driver. They believe the vehicle has front-end damage and could be white in color.
