AutoZone worker killed after crash last weekend – NBC10 Philadelphia

The victim that was seriously injured in an accident in Port Richmond last weekend has died, a Philadelphia police spokesman said.

Kevin Taylor, of southwest Philadelphia, was driving a Chevrolet pickup northbound on Richmond Street on Sunday, Oct. 20, just before 7:30 a.m., when a Dodge Ram blew through a red light, police said.

The Dodge Ram crashed into Taylor’s Chevrolet truck, causing both vehicles to crash into several parked cars that were uninhabited.

Four young people, all wearing dark clothing and ski masks, were captured on camera jumping out of the Dodge Ram into a white-colored SUV that was following them.

NBC10 has obtained surveillance footage of a crash in Philadelphia’s Port Richmond neighborhood that left a 40-year-old man in critical condition. Police are currently looking for four teenagers in connection with the crash.

Video shows one of the teens fleeing on foot, while at least three other teens get into a white SUV.

One of the parked cars that was hit belonged to neighbor Eric Flemming.

‘It sounded like a bomb went off. I came down and saw the aftermath,” Flemming said.

In the video, Flemming can be seen running outside and shouting the license plate number of the SUV before it drives away from the scene.

“FJW-5082,” Flemming says repeatedly in the video.

Mountains of metal and debris spread nearly half a block down the street after the crash.

“Luckily there was no one in the parked cars,” Flemming said.

According to employees who worked with the victim, he worked at the AutoZone at 3337 Aramingo Avenue. They said he works in the hub department, meaning he delivers parts from one store to another and that’s what he was doing at the time of the crash.
