Good morning in the news this morning.

Philadelphia police say a driver of a minivan who struck a man in West Kensington got out of the vehicle and looked at the victim before fleeing the scene.

Police were called to the 3,300 block of North 2nd Street just after 11 p.m. on Wednesday.

The victim was found in the middle of the road near speed bumps and signs warning drivers to slow down.

Investigators said the victim was in his late 60s.

The victim's family told authorities he was deaf and nonverbal, but knew the neighborhood

very well.

Several witnesses told police the victim was trying to cross North Second Street between

Ontario and Westmoreland streets when the minivan driver struck him and kept going.

The victim was hit with so much

force that he came out of both of his sneakers, said Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small.

Witnesses said the van dragged the victim nearly 300 feet south towards Allegheny Avenue.

The driver left the scene and then came back before leaving the scene again, but they said he got

out of his car and looked at the body, got back in the car, and then took off again.

The victim lived one block from the crash scene for more than 30 years and is well known by many neighbors.

Authorities said that they found businesses and homes in the area with surveillance cameras,

so they're hoping that those captured something that might help in their investigation.
