PHILADELPHIA - A Delaware County family is asking for help after a hit-and-run recently left a family member in a fight for his life.
South Elmwood Avenue is a busy road dividing the towns of Glenolden and Folcroft. Homes dot the tree-line street and Sunday is a day for yard work since there is less traffic.
Sunday evening, longtime Glenolden resident Richard Flick, was raking his leaves out of the street and back to the curb.Police say he was standing on the edge of the road around 5:40 p.m.
when he was struck by a vehicle that was heading south. "I found Rick's shoes here. This is where he must have been hit, because this is where the rake was dropped, and his shoes were," Rick's wife Carrie Hamilton explained to FOX 29's Jeff.
