At around 7:00 p.m. Philadelphia police and medics were called out to an accident at the intersection of 7th Street and West Allegheny Avenue.
When they arrived, transit police told officials that a Lincoln Navigator crashed into the vehicle, a minivan, in front of it that was stopped at a red light on Allegheny. That vehicle then struck another and another, ending with a SEPTA bus.
A total of seven vehicles were involved in this chain reaction.
Police say after the Navigator struck a minivan, the driver and passenger got out and ran.
However, transit police were coincidentally behind the Navigator. They chased the driver and caught him.
A total of 8 people were transported to area hospitals with what appear to be non-life-threatening injuries.
