Police are asking for the public’s help in identifying the car and driver involved in a fatal hit-and-run crash that occurred early Saturday in Northeast Philadelphia.
At around 2 a.m., the vehicle, a white SUV, struck a 21-year-old female pedestrian who was crossing Robbins Avenue mid-block near Torresdale Avenue in Tacony, investigators said. Authorities identified the victim as Octavia Aaron, of Northwood.
