WEST PHILADELPHIA, PA : 14-year-old girl killed by hit-and-run driver while crossing street with mother on Thursday, 26th September 2024

Police are searching for a hit-and-run driver who they say fatally struck a 14-year-old girl who was crossing the street with her mother.

The deadly crash happened Thursday night just after 9 p.m. at the intersection of 65th Street and Haverford Avenue, according to police.

Investigators say the driver of a black sedan swerved to avoid the mother and daughter, but struck 14-year-old Dawn Watson and kept driving.

The mother told investigators she felt the car scrape her knuckles as it passed, and turned around to find her daughter had been hit.

FOX 29's Steve Keeley reports through police sources that Watson was found nearly a block away.
