'Really gruesome': 3 killed, 1 injured when car crashes into Philadelphia SEPTA station
PHILADELPHIA - Three people are dead after a car crashed into a SEPTA station in Kensington, authorities say. Police say a car traveling at a high rate of speed crashed into a turn-style, pedestrians and then the Allegheny Avenue SEPTA station.  Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small says the crash happened around 2:45 a.m. when an officer on detail at Kensington Avenue and Allegheny Avenue saw a car traveling at a high rate of speed. The officer heard the vehicle first and believes it was "easily going 100 miles per hour," Small says. Authorities say the car jumped the curb and hit a turn-style, hit three pedestrians and then SEPTA station building. Small says the crash was "really gruesome" as one of the victims was decapitated and their body was dismembered and burned due to a car fire that started after the crash. The body of another victim believed to be a female was severely mangled and crushed, according to police. Small says the crash scene was so brutal that all three victims were pronounced dead and the medical examiner is on scene. Police say the driver of the car and two pedestrians died as a result of the crash and another person was transferred to Temple University Hospital. Due to the incident, the Allegheny Station is being bypassed and shuttle buses will run in both directions between Somerset and Tioga. Service at the SEPTA Allegheny Avenue Station will be bypassed and shuttle buses will be available after a fatal crash into the station.
