PHILADELPHIA (AP) - A speeding sport utility vehicle went out of control and flipped over several times before striking another vehicle in southwest Philadelphia, killing two people and injuring eight others, including five children, police said.
The male SUV driver and a female adult were pronounced dead at the scene of Monday afternoon’s crash, police said. Five children were taken by fire rescue to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children with injuries ranging from critical to minor, police said.
Three adults in the other vehicle were taken to two other hospitals in stable condition, police said.
Further details on the crash were to be released later.
