Ashley McLean-Gaylor, of Glenolden, was crossing Lindbergh Boulevard westbound on foot around 2:30 a.m. when she was struck by a Honda Accord traveling southbound on 84th Street, police said.
The 27-year-old daughter of a Delaware County police officer was killed in a hit-and-run accident in Southwest Philadelphia early Saturday morning, police said.
Ashley McLean-Gaylor, of Glenolden, was crossing Lindbergh Boulevard westbound on foot about 2:30 a.m. when she was struck by a Honda Accord traveling southbound on 84th Street, Philadelphia police said. The driver, whose vehicle had New York plates, fled the scene.
Late Saturday night, police said that the Accord had been found and towed by police and that the driver remained unknown.
Police did not say where the vehicle was found.
McLean-Gaylor was pronounced dead at the scene by medics, police said.
Her mother, Leslie McLean, is a longtime police officer with Folcroft Borough, according to a GoFundMe post by the Delaware County Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 27, which is seeking donations on the officer’s behalf.
The FOP was originally offering a $5,000 reward for information that leads to the driver’s arrest, but increased that to $15,000 Sunday after the Philadelphia FOP Lodge 5 and an anonymous contributor each donated $5,000. Tips should be made to 215-686-TIPS.
According to the post, McLean-Gaylor is survived by two young daughters and a fiancé, along with her parents and other relatives.
