Rey Orlando Curbelo-Rodrgieuz is believed to have been behind the wheel of a vehicle involved in the incident on Oct. 21 in Lower Moreland, according to local authorities.
He was seen driving erratically and too close to other cars, police said. Officers approached the vehicle and the driver gave a fake name, they said.
"Due to safety concerns and heavy traffic, the driver was asked to drive the vehicle into a nearby parking lot," Lower Moreland police said. "The driver drove past the parking lot and it was immediately apparent he was fleeing the scene."
Officers lost sight of the car but continued in the direction they last saw the vehicle.
Thirty seconds down the road, the vehicle crashed, with apparent heavy front end damage, and the driver fled the scene on foot.
The passenger waved officers down and cooperated with police to help identity the actor, Rey Orlando Curbelo-Rodriguez, 27.
