UPPER DARBY, Pa. (WPVI) — Police in Delaware County are looking for a driver involved in a deadly hit-and-run over the weekend.
Upper Darby police say the accident happened Saturday morning around 1:20 a.m. on Marshall Road near the corner of 69th Street.
The hit-and-run was caught on surveillance. A minivan turned onto Marshall Road and stopped at the intersection. A motorcycle then comes speeding down the hill and slams into the back of a minivan.
Seconds later, the minivan leaves, leaving the motorcycle driver and passenger in the middle of Marshall Road in Upper Darby.
“Why you would not stop, I do not know,” said Upper Darby Police Superintendent Timothy Bernhardt.
Officers were at the scene in seconds. The motorcycle riders, who police say were two adult men, were taken to the hospital.
Now, investigators want to talk to the man who they say was driving the minivan.
“He is not at fault for the accident. What he is responsible for is to stay on scene, provide his information, and render any aid, which he did not do,” said Bernhardt.
Police say the motorcycle driver was pronounced dead Wednesday morning. The passenger is expected to be OK.
The minivan driver is still nowhere to be found. Police say he could be facing charges for leaving the scene of an accident.
“He dumps the minivan, walks back up on foot and is there on foot watching the entire investigation of the accident take place,” said Bernhardt.
That’s how police say they got photos of the driver; he came back to the scene after the accident and still did not identify himself to police.
“It’s odd to say the least,” said Bernhardt.
Police have not released the name of the driver who died. They’re still notifying family.
