PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — A man waiting for a bus in Tacony is now fighting for his life after being struck by a car Monday morning.
Philadelphia police said a car traveling north on Torresdale Avenue tried to swerve around another car stopped at a red light in the bus lane and, in doing so, struck a man at the bus stop.
It happened near Longshore Avenue, just before 2 a.m.
The car that was stopped tried to avoid being hit and instead struck a pole, and the striking car hit a fence.
The 54-year-old man who was hit was taken to the hospital and remains in critical condition.
Detectives with the Crash Investigation Division have the case, but no one has been charged yet
