The search is ongoing for a group of at least four teenagers accused of speeding down Venango Street in Philadelphia’s Port Richmond neighborhood early Sunday and crashing into a truck, injuring its driver. Video shows the collision sent both trucks into several parked cars. Police said a white SUV following the teens pulled up to the crash site, and they might have escaped in that vehicle. #Philadelphia #news #hitandruncrash #crash
