Raymond Robinson, 69, of Philadelphia, is facing a felony charge stemming from the incident.
Police were dispatched to the 1600 block of Easton Road in the Willow Grove section of Abington Township following reports of a hit-and-run involving a white Hyundai Santa Cruz. The caller reported that the vehicle was heading southbound on Easton Road.
Responding officers quickly located a vehicle matching that description near the intersection of Pershing Avenue and initiated a traffic stop in the parking lot of 1318 Easton Road.
The driver, identified as , exited the vehicle immediately upon stopping. According to police, Robinson admitted to striking a parked car and leaving the scene without providing information.
