Pittsburgh, PA – Hit-and-Run Pedestrian Accident on Saw Mill Run Blvd

Pittsburgh, PA (November 3, 2022) – Around 9:30 p.m. on the night of Wednesday, November 2, a hit-and-run pedestrian accident took place at a Pittsburgh intersection.

According to Pittsburgh officials, the accident happened at the intersection of Saw Mill Run Boulevard and Library Road. Police confirmed that a female construction flagger was working in the area when she was suddenly struck by a passenger vehicle. The driver of the vehicle that struck her fled the scene without stopping.

Several Pittsburgh responders, including paramedics and fire crews, were immediately called to the scene to help those in need. The pedestrian, who has only been identified as an adult female, was conscious and alert when she was helped by paramedics. She sustained a knee injury and was taken to the hospital but is expected to fully recover.

Due to the severity of the accident, police blocked off a portion of the road in the area until the scene was cleared. Police did not say if they found the driver responsible for the accident at this time.

The investigation into the circumstances of the accident continues at this time. Police will update with more information as it is available.

Our thoughts go out to the party who has sustained injuries in this accident with hopes of a full recovery.

Pedestrian Accidents in Georgia 

Pedestrians are some of the most at-risk parties on our roads in the state of Georgia. This is due to the fact that they have no protection from harm in an accident involving any type of large vehicle. Especially when a hit-and-run driver is involved in an accident, it is likely to end in catastrophic results for a pedestrian. In 2021 alone, it was reported that approximately 348 pedestrians were killed and thousands more were seriously injured in Georgia accidents. If you are somebody who has sustained injuries in a pedestrian accident, you will need to show that another party is at fault for your accident. This is not always easy to do, which is why you should speak with a legal advocate that you can trust.
