Responding to the intersection of West Chester Pike and Waterview Road in East Goshen Township for an automobile accident involving a pedestrian, officers arrived to find a member of the Goshen Fire Company performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation on an individual who had been struck by an eastbound 2008 Dodge Charger, a police press release said.
The driver of the Dodge Charger, a 26-year-old male who was not identified by police, stopped his vehicle after the accident, called for assistance, and remained at the scene.
