Philadelphia police are searching for a driver after a crash left a motorcyclist critically injured earlier this month.
It happened on February 8 just after 8:30 p.m. at the intersection of C Street and Alleghany Avenue.
Police say a motorcycle and an SUV were traveling eastbound on Alleghany Avenue.
The SUV began to turn southbound onto C Street when it was struck in the rear by the motorcycle, officers say.
Witnesses told police that the SUV briefly stopped at the scene before continuing south on C Street.
The driver of the motorcycle, identified as 20-year-old Ariel Sanchez, sustained critical injuries to his head, back, and pelvis from the crash and was transported to Temple University Hospital.
Sanchez is now suffering from a broken collar bone, a fractured skull, and blood clots, and is in extreme pain, according to his family.
Even weeks after the crash, Sanchez’s family told Action News he is still hospitalized, and he is just now able to converse with others.
Family members say it is difficult for him to speak, eat, and breathe. They are hoping the driver in this case comes forward.
