Parent hit by car during National Walk and Roll to School Day

4 days ago by Fossy to c/fuckcars

National Walk and Roll to school day took a scary turn in South Philadelphia Wednesday morning when a man was hit by a car.

"A parent participating in a bike-to-school event in Philadelphia's Queen Village neighborhood was struck by a vehicle Wednesday morning."

"I heard a car honking behind me and revving and before I knew it there was a jeep that had run me over.....I was on the ground"

Is the driver going to go away for attempted murder? Lose their license? Anything?
