A report from 6 ABC Action News said the incident happened at 18th & Clarissa Streets at around 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday evening.
The male victim was reportedly thrown about 200 feet upon impact. He died at the scene. According to police, the victim was hit by a speeding Tesla.
“Our victim was crossing Hunting Park mid-block, walking from the southside to the northside. He was on foot, that’s when he got struck by the Tesla”, said Phila. Police Chief Inspector, Scott Small.
