"PHILADELPHIA (CBS 3) ―
A driver with a lengthy criminal record is facing charges after a collision in Port Richmond that claimed the life of a veteran Philadelphia police sergeant late Monday night.
Sergeant Timothy Simpson, 46, was reportedly responding to a robbery call when he was involved in a crash with a black Camaro at the intersection of Allegheny and Aramingo Avenues at about 10:30 p.m.
Witnesses reported the Camaro was traveling at a high rate of speed and had run a red light at the time of the collision. The impact sent Sgt. Simpson's cruiser into a nearby building while the Camaro struck a light pole.
Rescue crews rushed Simpson to Temple University Hospital where he was pronounced dead at about 11:05 p.m."
Another Philly officer has been killed in the line of duty..so incredibly sad and such a difficult time for the police and the city. And again another officer is killed by a many time offender.. this one 20 times he has been lockedup.. paroled just 3 days prior to this tragedy.
My sympathies to the family, friends and officers who worked with Mr Simpson.
