Woman killed after driver crashes into truck in Nicetown-Tioga section of Philadelphia, police say
A woman was killed and a man was critically injured in a car crash in Philadelphia's Nicetown-Tioga neighborhood early Saturday morning, police said.
Officers were dispatched to the 2300 block of West Hunting Park Avenue just before 1 a.m., Philadelphia police Inspector D F Pace said.
When they arrived, they found a white Oldsmobile had crashed into a parked, unoccupied GMC truck.
A man in the driver's seat of the sedan was transported to Temple University Hospital in critical condition. The passenger, a 54-year-old woman, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Pace said police are also investigating a 2015 Chrysler Pacifica that crashed about 100 yards away from the crash scene to see if there is a connection.
The cause of the crash is currently under investigation by the Philadelphia Police Crash Investigation Division.
