Pittsburgh, PA (January 22, 2024) – Pittsburgh police were investigating a three-vehicle crash in the city's Overbrook neighborhood, where one of the vehicles crashed into a building, on Friday night.
The crash happened just before 7:00 p.m. at the intersection of Saw Mill Run Boulevard (Route 51) and Overbrook Boulevard.

A statement from the city's Department of Public Safety said the driver who is believed to have caused the crash was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence. The name of the driver was not immediately released. The statement added that a female patient was taken to the hospital in stable condition with a neck brace.

Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their loved ones. We hope for their complete recovery.
Suffering serious injuries or even losing a loved one in a fatal accident is an unimaginable tragedy that no one should have to experience. The heartbreaking reality is that it happens far too often, with over 1,100 deaths each year in Pennsylvania alone. Various acts of negligence continue to contribute to the number of accidents that take place in Pennsylvania every year. Some of the most common causes of these accidents include failing to yield. For instance, when drivers do not yield to pedestrians who are passing in the area nearby, they can strike them and cause severe or fatal injuries.
Moreover, distracted driving is a major cause of far too many accidents. It is common for drivers to cause serious injuries that have devastating consequences for others if they ignore roadway conditions or their surroundings in general. Distractions are one of the leading causes of crashes. People text, talk to others, or even eat while driving.
If you've sustained serious injuries or your loved one has lost their life as a result of a fatal crash that was caused by the careless or reckless actions of another motorist, your family may have legal options to help you move forward.
