Early Morning Accident Under Investigation
Rescuers were called to the scene of an accident at about 1:50 am. When they arrived at the intersection of North 20th Street and Belfield Avenue, they found a person in the street.
Police say that the driver of a white 2018 Jeep Cherokee was traveling southbound along 20th Street. The driver attempted to go around a stopped vehicle in the roadway. At that exact time, a person stepped into the roadway. The SUV driver struck that person.
Rescue teams took the pedestrian to Einstein Medical Center Philadelphia with significant injuries. They did not survive their injuries. The Crash Investigation Division is investigating to determine fault.
Fault in Pedestrian Accidents
A police investigation must demonstrate fault in this case by determining whether the driver had enough time and should have seen the pedestrian. If the driver of a vehicle can stop, they must do so before striking a person. A full investigation will provide more clarity over time.
