A speeding sport utility vehicle smashed into a commuter rail station early Tuesday, killing the driver and two pedestrians and injuring a third person, police said.
The SUV driver went out of control on a bend in the roadway and traveled diagonally across an intersection before jumping a curb and slammed into a turnstile and then the wall of the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority’s Kensington and Allegheny station shortly after 2:30 a.m. Tuesday, police said.
“It sounded like a bomb went off and everyone started running away,” witness Ariana Kmecak told WPVI-TV.
The SUV driver, a female pedestrian and a male pedestrian were pronounced dead at the scene. Another pedestrian was taken to Temple University Hospital in serious but stable condition. The names of the victims weren’t immediately released.
