A dark-colored car slammed into a pedestrian crossing the Roosevelt Boulevard overnight then drove away.
The hit-and-run crash near Front Street in the Feltonville section of Philadelphia around 1:30 a.m. Wednesday left a man with a broken pelvis, broken leg and other trauma, said investigators.
“The impact caused the 25-year-old victim to come out of both of his shoes,” said Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small.
After striking the man, witnesses said the black or dark-colored Honda or Acura fled north on the Boulevard, said Scott Small.
Crews rushed the victim to Einstein Medical Center where he underwent surgery early Wednesday.
Small said no parts of the striking vehicle appeared to be left at the scene. Part of the search for the car would be to look over surveillance video to see if the driver ran a red light or had the right of way, said Small.
