The civilian, who has been identified as 28-year-old Reyes Rivera Oliveras was walking along the southbound side of traffic near Lincoln Financial Field in South Philadelphia.
Troopers Martin F. Mack III, 33, and Branden T. Sisca, 29, were in the process of securing him in their patrol car when they were struck by Webb around 12:40 a.m. ET.
Both troopers were pronounced dead on the scene and Webb remained onsite before being taken into custody. It was reported to FOX 29 by law enforcement that Webb’s blood alcohol content was more than twice the legal limit.
According to court records, Webb was denied bail and will be due in court for a preliminary hearing on April 5.
