Person thrown from vehicle, killed in crash on Frankford Avenue
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- One person is dead after a serious crash in the Mayfair section of Northeast Philadelphia on Tuesday morning. The crash, which involved two vehicles, happened just before 5 a.m. at Frankford Avenue and Unruh Street.
Authorities say one person was thrown from a vehicle and did not survive.
The Philadelphia Fire Department rescued another person who was trapped in a vehicle.
Car parts were scattered at nearly every part of the intersection as investigators worked to clear the scene. Police say a speeding driver ran through a red light and later died.
Paramedics took the 60-year-old driver of the other vehicle to Jefferson Torresdale Hospital where he is expected to be OK.
Surveillance video from a nearby business shows the driver of the 2004 Acura traveling south when he struck a Nissan headed in the same direction.
The intersection reopened after being closed for hours due to the deadly crash.
