$15K reward offered for arrest of driver accused of fatal hit-and-run in Southwest Philly

Philadelphia police are looking for the driver of a car suspected in a deadly hit-and-run that left a 27-year-old woman dead in Philadelphia's Eastwick neighborhood.

Officers responded to the intersection of South 84th Street and Lindbergh Boulevard just before 2:30 a.m. Saturday after receiving a 911 call about a woman who had been struck by a vehicle, according to police.

The woman, identified as 27-year-old Ashley McLean-Gaylor from Glenolden, Pennsylvania, was pronounced dead at the scene at 2:37 a.m., police said.

Police said McLean-Gaylor was exiting a vehicle and stepped out into oncoming traffic. That's when she was struck by another vehicle that initially stopped but then fled the scene.

The striking vehicle may be a 2023 Honda Accord with a New York license plate, according to police.

McLean-Gaylor is survived by her two daughters, her fiancé, her father and her mother, who is a longtime Folcroft Borough Police Officer. A GoFundMe was created to help the family cover funeral expenses.

The Delaware County Fraternal Order of Police initially offered a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.

On Sunday, due to a new contribution, that reward grew to $15,000.

If you have any information related to the fatal crash call Philadelphia police at 215-686-TIPS.
