Man killed in 3-vehicle crash on Kelly Drive near Strawberry Mansion bridge is identified

A 41-year-old man was killed in a three-vehicle crash on Kelly Drive near the Strawberry Mansion Bridge Thursday afternoon, police said.

Just after 3:20 p.m., a black 2015 Nissan Altima was traveling south on Kelly Drive and tried to make an illegal left turn at Reservoir Drive, police said. A white 2024 Nissan Rogue then hit the Altima, causing it to spin and hit a black 2016 BMW.

The 41-year-old man, a passenger in the Altima whose name was not released, was transported by medics to Temple University Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 4:02 p.m.

On Friday, police identified the man as Steven Tyree Moultrie.

A 44-year-old man who was driving the Altima was taken by medics to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, where he was listed in stable condition.

Police on Friday said the investigation of the crash was continuing and charges were pending.

Moultrie was a member of the Phi Beta Sigma fraternity, Nu Sigma chapter, which he joined while attending Tuskegee University.

“Brother Moultrie was a beacon of light within our fraternity and the greater Philadelphia community,” the chapter said in a statement on Friday.

Moultrie “was known for his kindness and his ability to spread joy wherever he went. His caring nature was most evident in his professional life, where he worked passionately in the field of mental health, striving to improve the well-being of those around him. His life was a testament to philanthropy, and his absence will be deeply felt by all who had the privilege of knowing him.”
