According to police, the suspect was driving a dark or black pickup truck, possibly a Dodge Ram; it is described as a dual rear-wheel truck, also called a dually, with two rear wheels on both sides. "What's unusual about this particular pickup truck is it's a heavy-duty pickup truck with two sets of wheels in the back, a total of six wheels, four in the back and two in the front," Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small said.
After striking the victim, the truck made a U-turn and made a left on Thomson Street, two blocks away from the accident."He was hit with such force that he was knocked out of his sneakers even though he was riding a bike," Small said.Investigators also found parts of a vehicle at the scene they believe may be from the striking pickup truck.MORE TOP STORIES:
