A 16-year old girl was struck and killed by an SUV while she was walking to her school bus in Bucks County Wednesday morning. A School District of Bensalem bus was stopped on Bensalem Boulevard near Bridgewater Road with its flashing lights on. Police say the driver of a 1984 Ford Bronco ran through the signal and drove past the bus, hitting the 16-year-old girl, who was attempting to get on her school bus. The victim has been identified by police as Minete Zeka, a sophomore at Bensalem High School. The driver of the vehicle stopped at the scene and is cooperating with police. The driver, 18, is a student at a technical school in Bensalem.

Police say theyâ€™ve arrested a suspect in connection with two intentionally set fires at a Philadelphia home. Leonard Monroe was charged Thursday with arson, aggravated assault, causing catastrophe and other offenses. Police say the 24-year-old set fire Nov. 9 and Dec. 1 to a home on Coulter Street in the cityâ€™s Germantown neighborhood. In both instances the attacker placed a Molotov cocktail or other incendiary devices inside the front door. Eight people escaped the Dec. 1 fire and firefighters were able to extinguish it within minutes.

SEPTA Police are searching for a man who tried to sneak on a SEPTA train Wednesday night. The suspect was caught on surveillance video trying to get on the Broad Street Line. The clumsy man kept getting tripped up trying to hop the turnstile at the Race-Vine station. He eventually made it over, but ended up leaving the station without even getting on a train.

Weather
Sunny. High 41 in Center City.
