The motorcycle collided head-on with a Mitsubishi that police said was racing a Subaru.
A 45-year-old man was killed early Sunday morning after his motorcycle collided head-on with one of two vehicles that had been reportedly racing in Southwest Philadelphia, police said.
At about 1 a.m., a 2003 Mitsubishi was traveling south on the 7600 block of Brewster Avenue, racing a red Subaru, when it crashed into the motorcycle, which was northbound on Brewster, police said.
A medic pronounced the man operating the motorcycle dead at 1:01 a.m. Police did not disclose his identity.
The Subaru fled the scene before police arrived.
No other information was available, including whether charges are pending against the Mitsubishi driver. Alcohol was not involved, police said.
