PHILADELPHIA – A young woman was killed Friday morning by a hit-and-run driver on a dangerous Philadelphia highway.

Investigators say the fatal crash occurred around 2:30 a.m. in the 4800 block of Levick Street.

The woman, believed to be in her 20s or 30s, was struck by a speeding dark-colored pickup truck and thrown about 200 feet, police said.

Investigators hope nearby surveillance cameras captured the getaway vehicle.

Levick Street, a branch of nearby I-95, is known for speeding vehicles even though the road is lined with homes and businesses.

“Normally, if you hit a person and you’re traveling at a high rate of speed, you’ll feel it, you’ll hear it and you’ll know you hit something,” Philadelphia police said. Chief Inspector Scott Small said.
