PITTSBURGH, PA – A young woman died and two other people were injured early Saturday due to a collision near Pittsburgh’s Oakland neighborhood, according to TRIBLive.
Pennsylvania State Police said the wreck occurred on the westbound parkway (Penn-Lincoln Parkway/Interstate 376) near the exit to Boulevard of the Allies, before Liberty Bridge. Troopers were in the area shortly after 12:30 a.m.
An early investigation found that a 23-year-old Pitcairn resident was speeding westbound in an Infiniti when the car crashed as it approached Boulevard of the Allies and Liberty Bridge.
The vehicle’s front-seat passenger, a 20-year-old also of Pitcairn, succumbed to their injuries at the scene.
