(WPVI) &#8212; Police in Delaware County are looking for a driver involved in a deadly hit-and-run over the weekend.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">Upper Darby police say the accident happened Saturday morning around 1:20 a.m. on Marshall Road near the corner of 69th Street.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">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.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA hsDdd DbOXS oklLN GpWVU iJYzE \" data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"hsDdd NDJZt sJeUN IJwXl vBqtr KrDt itslR WAUrb hakZw HlUVI \" data-testid=\"prism-image\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/17263304_072225-wpvi-upper-darby-crash-invex-5pm-CC-vid.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">Seconds later, the minivan leaves, leaving the motorcycle driver and passenger in the middle of Marshall Road in Upper Darby.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">&#8220;Why you would not stop, I do not know,&#8221; said Upper Darby Police Superintendent Timothy Bernhardt.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">Officers were at the scene in seconds. The motorcycle riders, who police say were two adult men, were taken to the hospital.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">Now, investigators want to talk to the man who they say was driving the minivan.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">&#8220;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,&#8221; said Bernhardt.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">Police say the motorcycle driver was pronounced dead Wednesday morning. The passenger is expected to be OK.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">The minivan driver is still nowhere to be found. Police say he could be facing charges for leaving the scene of an accident.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">&#8220;He dumps the minivan, walks back up on foot and is there on foot watching the entire investigation of the accident take place,&#8221; said Bernhardt.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">That&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">&#8220;It&#8217;s odd to say the least,&#8221; said Bernhardt.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC eTIW sUzSN \">Police have not released the name of the driver who died. They&#8217;re still notifying family.<\/p>\n<p>Copyright \u00a9 2025 WPVI-TV. All Rights Reserved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"UPPER DARBY, Pa.
