An eastbound Buick Enclave struck the man as he crossed Spruce Street at a crosswalk near 36th Street -- that's right by the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and the Penn campus -- around 5:30 a.m., police investigators said.
The man was rushed to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center where he died just after 6 a.m., police said.
As police investigated the deadly crash, a 41-year-old woman went to a police station to report the crash, police said. Investigators then recovered the Enclave believed to have struck the man on the 4900 block of Larchwood Avenue in West Philadelphia.
