Man Crashes While Fleeing Apparent South Philly Shooting

Two SUVs, one with bullet holes in the back, crashed in South Philly Monday morning

A man crashed his SUV while fleeing an apparent shooting in South Philadelphia.

The driver collided with another SUV along McKean Street near 17th Street in South Philadelphia around 5 a.m., investigators said.

The man, who was not shot, got out of the crashed SUV, bullet holes visible, and said he was shot at multiple times, neighbors told NBC10 News.

A woman in the other SUV, which wound up the wrong way against a pole, was trapped and panicking after the wreck, Dan Lauria, the owner of nearby Brunics, said. Crews came and helped rescue her from the wreckage.

Both people were taken to the hospital for treatment.

Police investigated Monday to figure out where the initial shooting took place.
