Pedestrians hit after car runs red light in fatal 4-vehicle crash at Philly intersection: police
PHILADELPHIA - Police say a 21-year-old man sped through a red light causing a multi-vehicle crash that ended with a woman being killed, and juvenile critically injured Saturday night.
The deadly crash began when a speeding Mercedes-Benz ran a red light, and hit a Hyundai at the intersection of Bustleton Avenue and Rennard Street, according to authorities.
Two other cars stopped at the red light were hit when the force of the first crash thrust the Hyundai forward, causing a "Domino effect."
The Hyundai then plowed into the sidewalk, where police say it hit two pedestrians.
