One man was killed and his younger brother was hospitalized in critical condition after a crash in Northeast Philadelphia late Tuesday night, according to police.<\/p>\n

Officers were called to the scene shortly after 10 p.m. on the 7200 block of Torresdale Avenue, in the city’s Tacony neighborhood.<\/p>\n

Police said the crash occurred when an 18-year-old man driving a red Infiniti sedan attempted to pass a double-parked vehicle and shifted into oncoming traffic.<\/p>\n

The Infiniti then struck a white Nissan van head-on, before spinning and hitting a parked car, police say. The impact severely injured the Infiniti driver and his 23-year-old brother in the passenger seat.<\/p>\n

The passenger had to be extricated from the vehicle by the Philadelphia Fire Department. He was then taken to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead shortly before 11 p.m.<\/p>\n

Police later identified him as Darius Santoni of the city’s Holmesburg neighborhood.<\/p>\n

The 18-year-old has not been publicly identified. The driver of the Nissan van and a 32-year-old male passenger received a medical evaluation, but their conditions were not immediately available.<\/p>\n

The police department’s Crash Investigation Division is still investigating the incident and no charges have been filed.<\/p>\n
