A bicyclist was hit at Broad and Federal by an Olde City Taxi who fled the scene. The report on Fox 29 indicates that GPS devices installed on all medallian cabs may help catch the offending driver. Heavy rain at the time (1AM) may have been a factor.
At about the same time a pedestrian was struck crossing Roosevelt Blvd at Rhawn St in Northeast Philadelpia. Police are hoping that Red Light cameras at the intersection will lead them to a suspect.
