Speeder kills another motorist in Delco

By Inquirer Staff

A teenager in a speeding SUV ran a red light and slammed into a car this morning in Middletown Township, ripping off the smaller vehicle's front end and killing its driver, state police said.

The drivers of two other cars caught in the pileup and a passenger also were hurt, but their injuries were not life threatening, police said,

State police said in a news release that a Parkside Borough police officer saw a red Ford Explorer speeding through a school zone on Route 352 about 7:40 a.m.

Other officers also saw the Explorer speeding on Route 322 but lost sight of it as they approached Dutton Mill Road.

At Knowlton Road, the Explorer ran a red light and slammed into a black Honda in the intersection, police said. The Honda's front end was severed on impact and the driver, trapped inside, was pronounced dead a the scene. His name was not immediately released.

The 18-year-old driver of the Explorer was taken into custody and transported to Crozer-Chester Medical Center for observation.

He has not been charged yet.

Done make it sound like it was speed that killed somebody. How about the headline reads "Idiot driver runs red and kills motorist"?

He should be charged with murder and see the body of the driver that he killed before they send the body to the morgue.

If you want to murder someone, use a car. You might get 2 years in the pokey.

A speeding teenager? Whouda' thunk it? Teenagers behind the wheel at age 17? Maybe up the age to 19?...
