A multi-vehicle incident on Interstate 376 westbound on Sunday killed at least two individuals and injured two others.
Just before 7:30 p.m. on Sunday, Allegheny County first responders were notified of an incident near the Exit 71A (Grant Street) and Exit 71B (Second Avenue) intersection.
Pennsylvania State Police troopers were also dispatched to the location and began an investigation into the event.
According to the inquiry, a Chevrolet Silverado was going eastbound in the westbound lanes before to the crash. According to a state police media release, the Silverado collided with a Nissan Frontier driving westbound.
The victims of the Silverado, two men, were taken to a neighboring hospital.
Medical personnel declared the driver of the Nissan Frontier dead on the site, and the passenger was taken to a local hospital, where they died later.
“That’s a really tough scenario to be in, especially when troopers and EMS arrive on scene. Emotions are very high, and it’s a very difficult crash to be a part of. We are working right now with all involved and their families to make proper notification and give them all the resources we can tonight,” said Trooper Rocco Gagliardi.
The incident was cleared, and the road was reopened shortly before 11:45 p.m. Sunday.
The investigation is still ongoing, with the support of Pennsylvania State Police Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Specialists and Forensic Service Units.
