Driver sought in Overbrook crash

Police are looking for this car and its driver in connection with a fatal hit-and-run.

Detectives are looking for a driver who left the scene after fatally hitting a woman last week in Overbrook.

Shampella R. Glover, 48, was getting into her car near her house on the 5600 block of Upland Way in Overbook when she was struck by an SUV at around 8:30 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 10, authorities said.

Investigators believe the SUV is a 2006-to-2010 Ford Explorer that has damage to its front right side, including a missing lower fog light. Police described the driver as a Black man with dreadlocks.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Accident Investigation Unit at 215-685-3180.
