This is awful. May the woman RIP, and the driver of the van get the help he needs when he is in prison.— FletcherT- What a shame. A woman just out walking, minding her own business and Bam, she's dead. Goes to show, we never know when it's over. RIP.— iodine

"Medics transported the driver to Hahnemann Hospital in critical condition.
He is also under arrest for driving under the influence"— Ralph 1 - We will never learn the identity of the driver in this newspaper . There will be no follow up , as usual .— jack susini
- There are 4 cemetaries where that accident happened. One on each corner...the only place in the country to own that distinction....The woman never saw the van coming, sounds like she was struck from behind. A real shame, she probably had parked her car & was walking down to the the EL to ride into town. Somedays it pays to get the bus.— Mona Lisa
- thats not the northeast— SlimFox
- By police division, Frankford and Cheltenham IS the Northeast ... and technically, the Northeast begins at the creek ...— iggles_rock
