The Philadelphia Police Department has released photographs of what they believe is the suspect’s vehicle which was involved in a deadly hit-and-run that claimed the life of Conyngham native Bryce Wolfe.
The crash occurred at approximately 11:15 p.m. on June 24 at the intersection of Kelly Drive and Reservoir Drive.
