UPPER DARBY, Pa. - Coworkers of a SEPTA employee who was killed in a hit-and-run last week gathered on Tuesday night to remember their friend and to call on the person responsible to come forward.
Police say last Wednesday, July 27, they responded to West Chester Pike and Kenmore Road in Upper Darby for an accident involving a motorcycle and a minivan.
Jean Carrie, 43, was riding his motorcycle when a minivan hit him and drove away. Carrie, a SEPTA employee for the last 16 years, succumbed to his injuries and died days later. "I hope they find this person.
It harbors on your heart to lose someone. You feel so angry inside, but you try to forgive people," said one man who went to the vigil to pay his respects to his friend.
