The drivers of two cars were killed when their vehicles crashed in North Philly early Tuesday.
A sedan heading southbound and a blue Toyota RAV 4 traveling northbound collided near East Hunting Park Avenue and Broad Street at about 2 a.m., police said. The driver of the RAV 4 was ejected from the vehicle, police said.
The sedan that struck the RAV 4 caught fire after the collision. Both drivers, whose names have not been released, died at the scene.
Officials have not yet provided any possible causes for the crash. Witnesses told CBS Philadelphia that one of the drivers lost control of their vehicle and sped on the wrong side of Broad Street before hitting the other car head-on.
Another witness told NBC10 that the scene was so chaotic that it was difficult to tell who was at fault. Police said that the incident remains under investigation.
