A motorcycle rider was killed after running a red light at the intersection of 2200 Snyder Avenue in the 1st District of South Philadelphia, according to police reports. The accident happened at 12:22 a.m.
Police reports indicate that a black Mazda was driving north along 22nd Street with a green light. At that time, a black Can-Am motorcycle sped westbound through a red light on Snyder Avenue. The Mazda struck the motorcycle. That caused the rider to be thrown from the bike, and eventually striking a parked blue Kia on the roadway. The driver of the Mazda remained at the scene and called 911. The bike rider was rushed to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, but died a short time later.
