A fatal crash in Juniata Park left two people dead on Saturday night.
A driver went through a red light, crashing into a car that had a green light, killing its two occupants, police said.
Right after 11:30 p.m., a green 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee was speeding westbound on East Hunting Park Avenue, police said.
As the Jeep approached the intersection with K Street, the 23-year-old woman driving went through a red light, striking a gold 2004 Lexus ES330.
The Lexus, driven by a 60-year-old woman, had been traveling southbound on K Street. She had a green light when her car was T-boned, police said.
Both vehicles had passengers.
The Philadelphia Fire Department arrived shortly after midnight, pronouncing the Lexus driver dead at the scene. Her companion, a 55-year-old man, was rushed to Temple University Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 12:15 a.m. The cars were inoperable after the collision, with the Lexus sustaining catastrophic wreckage and the Jeep having severe front-end damage.
The Jeep driver and the 25-year-old man with her were taken to Albert Einstein Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries, police said.
The driver suffered head trauma. The passenger had a minor head laceration and general pain. Both were in stable condition, police said. None of the names of the drivers or passengers were released.
