Philadelphia police have arrested a suspected drunk driver who rear-ended another vehicle in Northeast Philadelphia Sunday morning, killing one man and seriously injuring a female passenger.
The crash occurred at approximately 12:30 a.m. as both vehicles were traveling east on Woodhaven Road near Thornton, according to NBC 10. The suspect's car struck the second vehicle, causing it to ram into the median and flip.
