Hit-and-Run Crashes in Pennsylvania
Hit-and-run accidents like the one that occurred on W Carson St near the West End Bridge remain a troubling concern for Pittsburgh residents. These types of collisions not only leave victims physically injured, but they also delay critical medical care and complicate the process of holding reckless drivers accountable.
The area around W Carson St and the West End Bridge is a key transit corridor, connecting commuters to downtown and surrounding neighborhoods. With high speeds, merging traffic, and frequent construction activity, the risk of collisions increases significantly, especially when drivers fail to remain at the scene. In Sunday’s case, the injured individual was left without immediate support from the driver involved, a factor that can worsen both the physical and emotional aftermath.
Pennsylvania law is clear: leaving the scene of a crash involving injury is a criminal offense. Law enforcement and community safety advocates continue urging all drivers to remain where accidents occur, cooperate with authorities, and ensure injured parties receive care.
