Man involved in fatal Port Richmond crash charged
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- A 19-year-old man has been charged in connection with his involvement in a crash involving a stolen vehicle that left a man in a wheelchair dead and two others injured over the weekend in Port Richmond, the Philadelphia Police Department said Monday. Efrain Rosario was charged with VUFA-no license and VUFA.
Police say it's unclear if Rosario was the driver of the vehicle.
The crash happened at Aramingo and Castor Avenues after police were chasing the suspects in an alleged stolen Cadillac. It left 38-year-old Bill Repka, the man in a wheelchair, dead. A 27-year-old woman and an 11-year-old girl were also injured after the stolen vehicle crashed into another car.
Rosario was one of four suspects inside the vehicle that took off after the crash, according to police.
Three suspects are still on the run.
On Sunday, friends set up a memorial for Repka where the crash happened.
"They should pay for what they've done," a friend of Repka told CBS Philadelphia.
