Philadelphia Hit And Run Epidemic Spreads To Cheltenham
As I have been blogging for the past few years, there seems to be an epidemic of hit and run accidents in Philadelphia and the surrounding communities. Unfortunately, an innocent 17-year girl was killed by a mini van that struck her as she crossed Cheltenham Avenue last night at approximately 10:00 p.m at its intersection with Old Oak Lane Road. Police stated that the 17-year old female was struck by a light colored mini van that fled westbound on Cheltenham Avenue. Police suspect that the vehicle has damage to its front end.
As the economy continues to worsen, the episodes of deadly hit and run accidents in Philadelphia and surrounding communities is growing with geometric magnitude. Our hearts, thoughts, and prayers go out to the family of this innocent 17-year old victim and once again this tragic incident calls to question what legislators are doing to close the hit and run loopholes that exist under Pennsylvania hit and run laws.

The family of this individual would be well served to seek the service and experience of a Philadelphia car accident and hit and run lawyer to fully investigate this claim and work in conjunction with the police to make sure defendants are prosecuted to the full extent of the law, as well as recover to the maximum amount of civil remedies and compensatory damages available.
