Woman Dies, Child Hurt in Auto vs. Pedestrian

Woman Dies, Child Hurt in Auto vs. Pedestrian

A car hit “multiple” pedestrians, killing a woman, on Roosevelt Boulevard Monday afternoon, police say.

Though police have not released the exact number of people struck in the automobile vs. pedestrians accident yet, they confirm that a woman has died from her injuries and a child has been brought to a local hospital.

A witness told USA LOCAL NEWS that a truck cut off a car, which in turn jumped the curb of a very narrow sidewalk along the southbound side of Roosevelt Boulevard and struck the pedestrians.

The accident occurred at about 2:40 p.m. Monday, closing several lanes in the Pennypack Park area of Roosevelt Boulevard.

The child was transported to St. Christopher’s Hospital, according to authorities.
