PHILADELPHIA<\/strong> – Police are investigating a crash on the 1100 block of South 47th Street in Southwest Philly on Christmas. The crash damaged a business, a home and several vehicles on the street.<\/p>\n “This screeching sound, this boom and then everything kind of crumbling and the glass all breaking,” said Gretchen Elise Walker.<\/p>\n Walker\u2019s home was damaged so badly she said the front door was jammed shut.<\/p>\n “Last night, until 4 o\u2019clock, we were boarding up the interior to block access to our property, just to be safe. Right now I\u2019m looking for a contractor ASAP to board it up,” Walker said.<\/p>\n Those in the neighborhood said that this incident highlights a major concern that they have with the layout of the street.<\/p>\n According to the city website, the street was a part of the Vision Zero Project, and was changed in August.<\/p>\n The project converted the former two-lane road to a one-way, with a new southbound, separated bike lane and speed tables.<\/p>\n According to the Project, the changes were meant to reduce crashes.<\/p>\n “I\u2019m not sure that the solution they came up with really has been productive as we see right now,” said Walker.<\/p>\n What we don’t know:<\/p>\n Based on the video, the driver did leave the scene. Police have not confirmed whether they’ve been able to track down the driver.\u00a0<\/p>\n Those in the neighborhood said nobody was seriously hurt.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Source:<\/b> Information in this story is from video surveillance from the crash scene and interviews with neighbors.<\/p>\n Crime & Public Safety<\/a>Philadelphia<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PHILADELPHIA – Police are investigating a crash on the 1100 block of South 47th Street in Southwest Philly…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":472347,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5132],"tags":[5229,6082,50,1448,2830,1311,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-472346","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-philadelphia","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-crime-publicsafety","10":"tag-news","11":"tag-pa","12":"tag-pennsylvania","13":"tag-philadelphia","14":"tag-united-states","15":"tag-united-states-of-america","16":"tag-unitedstates","17":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","18":"tag-us","19":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115784705262313247","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/472346","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=472346"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/472346\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/472347"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=472346"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=472346"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=472346"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
