Woman dies in hit and run in Frankford

A woman was hit by a red dump truck Thursday morning at Cheltenham and Bustleton and died. 

A 58-year-old woman was fatally struck by the operator of an industrial truck that drove off yesterday morning in Frankford, and authorities said the driver might not have known he’d hit someone.

“With a truck that large, it’s possible the driver did not know,” said Sgt. Albert Gramlich of the Accident Investigation District.

Witnesses told police an industrial truck, possibly with a red cab and blue trash receptacle on the back, struck the woman, who was standing on the southwest corner of Bustleton and Cheltenham Avenues, about 9:30 a.m., Gramlich said.

Northwood Civic Association meeting

Tom Waring reports this week in the Northeast Times on the Northwood Civic Association meeting held on April 15th.  You can read the entire article here.

I was not aware until I read the article of the meeting tomorrow night, April 24th, at Frankford High School.  The subject being:

“The state Department of Transportation will hold a public meeting on Thursday, April 24, from 6 to 8 p.m. at Frankford High School.
PennDOT will provide information and ask for comment on projects to improve Interstate 95 and the Bridge Street and the Betsy Ross Bridge/Aramingo Avenue interchanges.”

They may discuss the long awaited connection of I-95 to Torresdale Avenue.  It’s only been on the drawing board since the 1960s.  We’ll see.
