Fatal hit-and-run in East Germantown

Police are looking for a suspected driver they say fled the scene after a man was killed.

"It sounded like a real bad car crash," Johnson said. "Like boom, I heard it. I had headphones on, you know, you’re playing a game, so I heard it through my headphones and I was like dang."

Several neighbors who didn’t want to go on camera told FOX 29 they now have to get new vehicles. All of them totaled, some of them mangled and bent.

This fatal wreck is about a mile away from where a 32-year-old woman was crushed between two ambulances on West Chelten Ave. The drivers remained on the scene in that wreck.

Police are now looking for the driver of the truck as they investigate the fatal crash.
