An elderly woman died from her injuries after a driver in a stolen SUV struck several vehicles and then fled the scene on foot on Fairmount Avenue in Philadelphia on Wednesday.

The woman, identified by family members as 78-year-old Julia Mae Abraham, was sitting in the passenger's seat of her sister's silver Mercury Mariner along the 3700 block of Fairmount Avenue at 12:31 p.m. when the vehicle was struck by a stolen white Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Police said a driver in a stolen vehicle struck multiple vehicles in Philadelphia's Mantua neighborhood before fleeing the scene. A 78-year-old woman who was sitting in one of the struck vehicles died from her injuries. NBC10 obtained surveillance video of the crash.

Surveillance video obtained by NBC10 shows the stolen Cherokee striking the vehicles before flipping over across the intersection. The video then shows two police cruisers drive by immediately after the crash though it's unclear if the officers were chasing the suspect.
