Pittsburgh, PA (December 12, 2024) – A massive injury crash involving 22 vehicles occurred on Thursday morning along the Boulevard of the Allies ramp, causing significant traffic delays and sending five individuals to the hospital. The incident, reported by Pittsburgh Public Safety, took place at approximately 6:30 a.m. at the ramp connecting I-376 East to Boulevard of the Allies in the Oakland neighborhood of Pittsburgh.
According to Pittsburgh Public Safety, the massive collision involved multiple vehicles and forced emergency responders to act quickly to control the scene. Five individuals sustained injuries and were transported to local hospitals by paramedics. Fortunately, no fatalities were reported.
First responders, including Pittsburgh Fire Department personnel, worked diligently to extract victims from their vehicles and clear debris from the road. Several vehicles were towed from the scene while authorities focused on managing the traffic flow in the area.
