Teen fugitive in Philadelphia was picked up by car shortly after escape, authorities say

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Authorities say a teenager awaiting trial in a homicide case who escaped outside a Philadelphia hospital this week was spotted on video getting into a vehicle that drove him away less than an hour after he fled on foot. U.S. marshals and city police continued to search Thursday for 17-year-old Shane Pryor. Authorities have said he fled Wednesday from a vehicle in the driveway of the emergency room at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. He had been taken there with a hand injury. Authorities say security video shows Pryor was able to go in and out of a few buildings in the area and was later seen entering a vehicle that then drove off. Police stopped the vehicle in the city on Wednesday night, but Pryor was not in the car.
