PHILADELPHIA (CBS) - Five people have been taken to the hospital after a serious crash in Philadelphia's Hunting Park section.
It happened on 6th Street and Hunting Park Avenue, around 4 a.m. Monday.
Officials say a Honda Civic hit several parked cars, sending a van flying into the air. The van landed on top of other parked vehicles.
The Honda sustained heavy front-end damage.
Neighbors tell CBS3 this is the third time this year that parked cars on Hunting Avenue were in involved in a crash. A woman who owns one of the parked vehicles said drivers need to slow down on Hunting Park Avenue.
"This is dangerous. I just thank God I wasn't in there with my grandchildren," she said. "This is a dangerous area and people shouldn't be speeding down the avenue."
Eyewitness News asked the Philadelphia Street Department if it owns West Hunting Park Avenue, and if it plans to add anything that would slow down drivers. We're waiting to hear back.
The area remains closed as police investigate.
