Hit-&-Run Driver Slams Into Unmarked Philadelphia Police Car, Pushes It Into Bottling Plant

A hit-and-run driver slammed into an unmarked police car early Thursday, leaving two Philadelphia Police officers with minor injuries.

The force of the rear-end crash at Erie Avenue and G Street in Philadelphia’s Juniata section around 3:30 a.m. caused the unmarked police car to crash into the Coca-Cola bottling plant at the corner, said investigators on the scene.

Doctors at Aria Health Frankford treated the 24th District officers for minor neck and back injuries, said police.

After the crash, the driver of the dark sedan, which should have front-end damage, took off westbound on Erie Avenue.

The crash didn't do any visible major damage to the building.
