Philadelphia Police are looking to find the car and driver of a dark SUV. At about 12:44 AM this morning, police said that a 60 year old male was attempting to cross the 2700 block of North Broad Street from East to West . Police said that the light was red for the pedestrian.

At that point a fast moving SUV, ( possibly a Buick or Chevy) was heading north on Broad Street, when the pedestrian was struck. The driver kept going and did not stop. Police are getting video of the vehicle and hope to be able to track it with video.

The pedestrian was pronounced dead at 1:08 AM. Names are being withheld pending notification of next of kin.
