PHILADELPHIA, PA — In a chilling incident on Broad Street, a 25-year-old woman was left in extremely critical condition after being struck by a vehicle in a hit-and-run. The Philadelphia Police Department is now seeking the public’s help in tracking down the driver involved in the incident.

The woman sustained severe injuries, including a fractured skull and hips, according to police. Her condition remains extremely critical.
The initial investigation suggests that the Nissan was heading north on Broad Street when it struck the woman who was walking west across the street. Authorities have released a detailed description of the vehicle, which is believed to have a sun or moon roof, a black left front wheel, and silver-colored other wheels. There may also be damage to the right front of the vehicle.
Citizens are urged not to approach the suspect if they spot the vehicle but to call 911 immediately. Tips can also be submitted by dialing 215.686.TIPS (8477) or texting the same number. All tips will be confidential.
