Details Are Limited in This Case
The police in Southwest Philadelphia reported that a woman was hit and killed by a car located behind Catharine Elementary School early in the morning. In this case, a woman was attempting to back down a one-way street at the time of the accident when she lost control of the car.
That caused the car to go into a tailspin and eventually struck a person who was standing on the sidewalk nearby. The victim was a 65-year-old woman. The driver stayed at the scene. There is some suspicion that the vehicle may have malfunctioned, resulting in the accident.
