The incident occurred around 7:25 p.m. Saturday, at the intersection of Broad and Hancock streets, authorities said.

The car struck a fire hydrant before resting in front of Walton Fuel and Oil, where the driver jumped out and fled on foot through the Lansdale Cemetery, NorthPennNow reports.

The driver had apparently been wanted by police in a separate incident prior to the crash, although authorities have not confirmed nor denied that information.
