The crash happened on the Platt Memorial Bridge in the 6000 block of Penrose Avenue at 2:11 a.m. on Monday, Oct. 21, according to the Philadelphia Police Department.
A black 2024 BMW X4 was eastbound on the bridge when its driver lost control, flipping the vehicle over into the westbound lanes, police said. As it flipped into oncoming traffic, it struck a black 2014 Toyota Camry.
