PHILADELPHIA - A vehicle collided with a bulldozer early Saturday morning, leaving two people dead, and three others trapped in the backseat.

The deadly crash happened at the intersection of Pattison and Penrose Avenue around 3:30 a.m.

Five people were inside the vehicle when police say it turned the wrong way onto Penrose Avenue and crashed into a front loader parked on the side of the road.

Two people, a 32-year-old male driver and 29-year-old female passenger, were pronounced dead on scene by medics.

MORE HEADLINES:

Three more people were extracted from the back of the vehicle, and transported to a local hospital: a 28-year-old woman in critical condition and two other women in stable condition.

It is unclear what led to the crash as an investigation is underway.
