Three people are dead, including one who was decapitated, after a driver allegedly crashed into pedestrians before hitting a turnstile early Tuesday morning in Philadelphia, according to a report.
The incident unfolded shortly before 3:00 a.m., when a white Honda Pilot slammed into two pedestrians, according to Fox 29. Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small said an officer heard the vehicle coming and thought it was “easily going 100 miles per hour,” according to the report.
