Pedestrian Critically Injured After Being Struck by Hit and Run Driver

NORTH PHILADELPHIA - December 7, 2008 (WPVI) -- A hit and run driver in North Philadelphia has left a man critically injured. The Action Cam was on the scene at the intersection of 29th and Dauphin Streets. Police tell us, a man in his late 60's was buying his Sunday paper from a Newspaper hawker when a car came speeding down the street and hit him. The driver kept on going, leaving the man lying unconscious in the street. He was taken to Temple University Hospital in critical condition. The newspaper hawker was able to jump out of the way of the speeding car. Police say they're looking for a Gray Mazda with heavy front-end damage and a flat tire.

The issue of whether or not pedestrians are entitled to medical coverage and pain and suffering will depend on a variety of factors including the pedestrians own insurance coverage.  Answers to these questions must be answered and are available in own lawfirm's FREE BOOK ON AUTO ACCIDENT CLAIMS IN PENNSYLVANIA by requesting it online.
