Philadelphia Police have identified the women who allegedly struck a parked police car and injured police officers in an overnight accident in East Germantown.
Latrese Savior, 23, of the 1400 block of 72nd Ave. in West Oak Lane, is charged with DUI, reckless endangerment and criminal mischief after her 1999 Nissan Maxima struck a 14th District police car on the 300 block of E. Chelten Ave.
