Pittsburgh, PA - Two Injured in Multi-Vehicle Collision on Westinghouse Bridge

Pittsburgh, PA (August 6, 2025) – Two people were taken to the hospital after a multi-vehicle crash along the Westinghouse Bridge on Tuesday afternoon.

Just before 4:00 p.m., news footage showed multiple first responders and police could be seen blocking off the bridge to traffic. The Eastern Regional Police Department confirmed that three vehicles were involved in the crash. Officials also said two people were taken to the hospital. Both of their conditions are unknown. No further details were released, however, and an investigation is still ongoing.

Our thoughts go out to the injured victims and their families. We hope for their full recovery at this time.

Multi-Vehicle Accidents in Pennsylvania

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is the site of thousands of vehicle accidents annually, resulting in serious injuries or fatalities for many drivers. Like residents of many other states, Pennsylvanians may be particularly concerned about the dangers and risks of truck accidents, especially when traversing the multi-lane roadways and heavily trafficked interstates spanning our state. Of course, Pennsylvania sees a lot of truck traffic because of the state's vast system of roads and interstates.

Moreover, accidents involving multiple drivers or large vehicles, such as trucks, are likely to be catastrophic and even deadly. For example, in one recent year alone, 166,833 truck accidents took place throughout the United States. Around 4,678 of them resulted in deaths. Though Florida, Texas, and California were the top states for these accidents, Pennsylvania wasn't far behind.

Unfortunately, many insurance firms are solely interested in limiting their financial exposure and maximizing their earnings. Additionally, the trucking corporations that victims are typically up against are usually well-funded, with an army of lawyers fighting for their interests.

For these reasons and more, following a truck accident that ended in injuries or even in a loved one's tragic and sudden death, crash victims can and should take legal action with the help of a skilled legal team. You shouldn't delay reaching out to a car accident lawyer as soon as possible so that you can focus on your physical and emotional recovery from your life-changing crash rather than on mounting medical expenses and other bills.
