The first crash occurred at East Gay and North Matlack streets around 12:10 a.m., police said. Surveillance video shows a dark Subaru Outback speeding down Gay Street after midnight.
Police were chasing after the SUV, which had been stolen from Wilmington, Delaware, according to investigators. The Outback struck a fence near the Zazen Nail Spa on the 200 block of East Gay Street. “I was pretty shocked because they would have to be driving really fast to knock down the fencing and some of the bricks,” Tien Balan, the owner of the spa, told NBC10. “And then I saw all of this rubble from the cars and the lights and stuff like that.”Sign up for NBC Philadelphia newsletters.
