It rolled and came to rest on the roof.
Paramedics pronounced Pappas dead at the scene with undisclosed injuries. Police did not disclose his address. Police also did not disclose the identity of a woman passenger, who was described in media reports as about 80 years old. She suffered injuries that were not life-threatening and was treated at Aria Health’s Torresdale hospital.
