PHILADELPHIA (AP) - A person driving a stolen tow truck struck a van and several parked cars on a Philadelphia street, leaving the van driver hospitalized, authorities said.
The person driving the tow truck fled the scene on foot after the crash occurred around 11:30 p.m. Sunday and remained at large Monday. It wasn’t clear where the tow truck had been stolen from or why it was taken.
The tow truck initially hit the van and then struck four parked cars, authorities said, sending one vehicle onto the front lawn of a house. The tow truck driver then continued driving for another block before abandoning the vehicle in the roadway and running from the scene.
The van driver was hospitalized in stable condition.
The crash remains under investigation.
