Philly man killed by hit-and-run driver fleeing Secret Service traffic stop near White House is identified

A 75-year-old Philadelphia man killed near the White House by a driver fleeing the U.S. Secret Service on Wednesday has been identified by authorities as Bing Wong.

The U.S. Park Police identified Wong and said it was now leading the investigation into the hit-and-run accident, which happened on 17th Street and Constitution Avenue NW.

According to the Secret Service, a blue 2006 Honda Accord was stopped by uniform division officers shortly before 1:30 p.m. due to its having an expired registration. Authorities said the driver made motions to stop but instead ran a red light, striking pedestrians on the crosswalk.

The vehicle also struck a 13-year-old girl, who was treated at the site for abrasions.
