An investigation is underway after surveillance video captured a Philadelphia police vehicle that appeared to strike a parked car before driving off in the city\u2019s Frankford neighborhood in April.<\/a><\/p>\n

The incident occurred on April 25, 2026, around 4:35 a.m. along the 5000 block of Ditman Street, police said. Officials confirmed with NBC10 on Thursday that a police vehicle was involved in a car crash that morning. A video obtained by NBC10 appears to show the police SUV striking a parked car before it drives off.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAn investigation is underway after video captured a Philadelphia police vehicle that appeared to strike a car and then drive off in the city’s Frankford neighborhood in April.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Philadelphia police confirmed their Internal Affairs Bureau is investigating the incident but could not provide any other details, including the name of the officer involved.<\/p>\n

NBC10 spoke with Jordan Hobson, whose family owns the vehicle that was struck. He told NBC10 the crash ripped off the front bumper of the car which he tried to fix with zip ties. He said he\u2019s still trying to fully repair his car more than a month later and he wants answers from the police department so that he can drive it again.<\/p>\n

Hobson said the crash not only damaged the car but also his family\u2019s finances.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe lowest was $7700 and the highest was like 10, 11 grand,\u201d Hobson told NBC10 when describing the cost of repairs. \u00a0<\/p>\n

In 2025, the NBC10 Investigators reviewed court records and city settlement data related to police-involved crashes.<\/a> The review revealed that Philadelphia has spent more than $15 million between 2020 and 2024 settling lawsuits in crashes that the department determined were preventable.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey keep asking me for the same papers over and over and over again,\u201d Hobson said. \u201cI keep sending them emails over and over again. They don\u2019t answer the phone or nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hobson told NBC10 he\u2019s starting an online fundraiser to get the money to fix the car. Until then, he\u2019ll keep waiting to hear back from the city.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An investigation is underway after surveillance video captured a Philadelphia police vehicle that appeared to strike a parked…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":210988,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[12223,69,71,70],"class_list":["post-210987","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-philadelphia","tag-nbc10-investigators","tag-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia-headlines","tag-philadelphia-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/210987","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=210987"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/210987\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/210988"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=210987"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=210987"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=210987"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
