A woman was struck and killed by a driver who didn’t stop in Philadelphia’s Germantown section on Sunday. It’s the second time a person was killed at the same intersection in a hit-and-run in less than two weeks.On Sunday just after midnight, police say a woman in her 50’s trying to cross Germantown Avenue near Coulter Street died after she was hit by a white SUV. Police are now searching for the driver.
A memorial now marks the place where her shoes were thrown from the impact. Quadera Parrish, 25, has been charged with involuntary manslaughter in that case.Residents who know the area are warning others to be alert.“They must think it is a racetrack,” a person said.CBS3 cameras caught drivers going through red lights and turning with pedestrians still crossing.“You have to watch out for the children crossing the street and everything,” Tony said.
Locals say they’d like officials to consider red light cameras or speed bumps to help improve safety.“Something has to be done,” Tony said. “I mean, we can’t keep having these fatal accidents at this corner.”
ARobertsCBS Something has to be done you say, maybe enforce basic traffic laws but Philadelphia has abandoned that practice so you'll get more of the same going forward. The City is broken even the most basic rules of driving are not obeyed anymore.
