A driver is in custody after a man was struck and killed by a speeding vehicle that fled the scene in Philadelphia overnight, police said.
Philadelphia police officers were on patrol shortly after midnight Tuesday when they spotted a blue Dodge Charger and a white Dodge Charger speeding eastbound on Castor and Aramingo avenues, according to investigators.
