Officials said the incident unfolded after a blue Tesla vehicle struck a police cruiser in a crash that happened at about 3:30 a.m. at the intersection of South St. Bernard and Spruce streets in West Philadelphia. After that incident, officials said, the driver behind the wheel of the Tesla pulled away from the crash and sped down South 50th Street before they crashed into a building at the intersection of 50th and Walnut streets.
