Three dead in a car crash at a public transit station in Philadelphia

A terrible accident killed three people overnight at a public transport stop in Philadelphia.

Around 3 a.m. Tuesday, the driver of a white Honda Pilot crashed into the maintenance fence between Allegheny’s SEPTA station on the Frankford Market Line and a neighboring Walgreens. Fox 29 in Philadelphia reported that the vehicle was traveling at a speed of 100 miles per hour prior to the accident.

The driver of the car was killed, as were two pedestrians – one of whom was decapitated. Another victim is in stable condition at a local hospital.

Kensington and Allegheny Avenues in Northeast Philadelphia were reportedly closed this morning. SEPTA service continues in the area, but the Allegheny station is also closed as law enforcement investigates.
