Two people are dead and several others are injured after a multi-vehicle accident in Northeast Philadelphia early Sunday morning, 12/15. It happened at the intersection of Torresdale Avenue and Cottman Ave. in Mayfair. Four women, ages 20-30, were traveling westbound on Cottman Ave. in a Nissan Maxima. Two men were traveling northbound on Torresdale Ave in a Chevy Malibu at a high rate of speed. The driver of the Malibu went around two vehicles stopped at the red light, entering the intersection, and t-boning the Maxima. The Malibu flipped over and slid up Torresdale. The Maxima spun and struck a utility pole outside St. Hubert's school. The female driver of the Nissan was ejected from the vehicle and was killed after hitting a fence. One female passenger was taken to the hospital in critical condition. The two other females are in stable condition. The male passenger of the Chevy succumbed to his injuries at the hospital. The 27-year-old male driver was also ejected from the vehicle but is in stable condition. Police believe speed and alcohol played a role in the rash. The driver of the Chevy Malibu is expected to face charges.

UPDATE 27-year-old Nehamiah Carstephen has been charged with Homicide by Vehicle while DUI, Homicide by Vehicle, Driving Under the Influence; Aggravated Assault while DUI, Aggravated Assault by Vehicle and related charges. 29-year-old Ciara Parker, a passenger in the Maxima, died. 18-year-old Rashaan Cole, Carstephen's nephew, was a passenger in the Malibu and also died.
