Early Morning Accident
It is unclear what caused the incident. However, rescue teams were called to the scene at 7300 Oxford Avenue at about 2:35 am on Saturday for reports of a person stuck under the vehicle. They arrived to find a person pinned under a white Hyundai Tucson. The person was said to be in critical condition.
Rescue teams worked to free the person from under the vehicle. They then rushed them to Jefferson Torresdale Hospital for immediate care. It is not clear what the extent of the individual's injuries is or whether they were at fault.
The driver remained at the scene and cooperated with police. The incident occurred at night, which may have contributed to the driver's failure to see the person walking. However, there is also no information available about whether the person was on the sidewalk or in the road, in a crosswalk, or just running out into the street. Those details can play a role in the outcome of the case.
