Still No Arrests in Double Hit-and-Run Death

PHILADELPHIA—Two motorists who struck a Triton Regional High School graduate in Northeast Philadelphia last month, leaving him to die, remain at large.

Investigators are hopeful someone will come forward with information about the double hit-and-run crashes that took Anthony J. Breslin's life.

Breslin was crossing Frankford Avenue at Benson Street at about 3:50 a.m. Jan. 17 when he was struck by a vehicle heading south on Frankford, according to police.

As two females tended to an injured Breslin, a silver vehicle, possibly a Honda, moved south on Frankford toward them, according to police.

The Good Samaritans were able to jump out of the way of the car.

Breslin could not. He was struck for a second time.

The 23-year-old 2005 Triton graduate was pronounced dead at Aria Health's Torresdale facility at 4:49 a.m., according to police.

Police have yet to receive a description of the first vehicle to hit Breslin.

Anyone with information about the double hit-and-run is asked to call accident investigators at 215-685-3180.

Breslin played football and wrestled while a student at Triton. He moved to the township's Blackwood section from Philadelphia to live with his aunt and uncle when he was in fifth grade.
