Two separate accidents injure four
Four people were injured this morning in two unrelated accidents.
At 10 a.m., a man driving a stolen van through Tacony hit SEPTA’s 56 bus at Torresdale Avenue and Knorr Street. At least one person has been hospitalized, but it’s still unclear if the suspect has been arrested.
Just an hour later, an elderly woman hit two men who were doing work along the road near Byberry Road and Depue Avenue in Somerton. The driver and the two workers were taken to Aria Health-Torresdale.
