U.S. Park Police said at least two people were struck, including a 75-year-old Philadelphia man who was rushed to George Washington University Hospital, where he later died of his injuries. A second victim was evaluated at the scene, but was not hospitalized, police said.  

According to CBS affiliate WUSA-TV, the second victim was a 13-year-old girl.

Following the hit-and-run, the suspect fled south, the Secret Service said, and remained at large as of Wednesday night. Authorities did not confirm if they know the identity of the driver.
