PHILADELPHIA — A man who was walking to the hospital after he was stabbed during a dispute was struck killed by a hit-and-run driver in Philadelphia, authorities said.

Karon Underwood, 36, was struck around 10:20 p.m. Monday just blocks from the hospital. One driver saw him and was able to avoid him, authorities said, but a second vehicle swerved to avoid the first and hit Underwood. Both vehicles then drove away from the scene.

Underwood was pronounced dead at the scene. He was the father of five children who range in age from 2 to 13.

No other injuries were reported in the accident, which remains under investigation.

The accident was captured on surveillance video, and authorities hope witnesses will come forward with information on the vehicles.

Details about the incident in which Underwood was stabbed have not been disclosed by authorities.
