A woman has been hospitalized in critical condition, police said, after she was struck by a hit-and-run driver as she exited her vehicle to check for damage following an earlier crash on I-95 on Wednesday night. <\/p>\n
According to Pennsylvania State Police officials, the incident happened at about 10:36 p.m., shortly after a 37-year-old woman, from Clifton Heights, exited her red Chrysler 300C after she lost control in a crash and struck a median, disabling her vehicle in the left lane of southbound I-95 in the area of an exit for the Walt Whitman Bridge. <\/p>\n
As she exited her vehicle to check for damage following the initial crash, police said she was struck by a driver who fled the scene, headed southbound on I-95. <\/p>\n
The impact threw the woman into the middle-right lane, officials said. <\/p>\n
Officials said the roadway was shut down for a period on Wednesday night as crews worked at the scene and the victim was taken to a nearby hospital where she was listed in critical condition. <\/p>\n
Police did not immediately provide a description of the driver or vehicle that struck the woman in this hit-and-run incident.<\/p>\n
But, officials said, an investigation is ongoing. <\/p>\n
Officials are asking anyone with information on this incident to contact the Pennsylvania State Police’s Criminal Investigation Unit at 215-452-5216.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A woman has been hospitalized in critical condition, police said, after she was struck by a hit-and-run driver…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":246687,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[69,71,70,645],"class_list":["post-246686","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia-headlines","tag-philadelphia-news","tag-south-philadelphia"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/246686","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=246686"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/246686\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/246687"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=246686"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=246686"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=246686"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
