by KYW's Ian Bush


A North Philadelphia man has been arrested and charged in a crash Saturday night that left three people dead and three others injured.  

It happened just after 11pm Saturday night, near Cecil B. Moore Boulevard and American Street in West Kensington. Police say 27-year-old Hanif Presley (above) was behind the wheel of a Buick that smashed into a Honda.

Investigators say Presley took off, but police soon caught up with him.  He now faces a long list of charges, including vehicular homicide, involuntary manslaughter, and DUI.

Six people in their teens or early 20s were in the car that was hit.  One died at the scene, two more were pronounced dead at a hospital.  Three others said to be seriously hurt were being treated.
