Pittsburgh, PA (April 13, 2025) – At least two people have died and two others were injured after a multi-vehicle crash on Interstate 376 westbound on April 13.
Allegheny County first responders were alerted to the incident between the Exit 71A (Grant Street) and Exit 71B (Second Avenue) interchanges just before 7:30 p.m. on Sunday.
Pennsylvania State Police troopers were also called to the scene and launched an investigation into the incident. Details from the investigation show that a Chevrolet Silverado was traveling eastbound in westbound lanes before the collision. The Silverado then struck a Nissan Frontier traveling westbound, per a media release from state police.
The victims in the Silverado, two men, were transported to a nearby hospital, while two others were pronounced deceased at the site. No further details were released, but the investigation into the incident remains ongoing, and witnesses were asked to step forward.
We offer our deepest condolences to the deceased victims’ loved ones. Our thoughts are also with the injured victims and their family members at this time. We hope for a swift recovery.
Multi-Vehicle Accidents in Pennsylvania
Thousands of car incidents happen on Pennsylvania’s roads every year, making them a terrible reality. Collisions can cause major injuries, property damage, and legal issues on both minor country roads and major freeways like I-76. Drivers can handle these difficult situations more easily if they are aware of the prevalent causes, legal issues, and what to do following an accident.
In Pennsylvania, irresponsible behavior, speeding, distracted driving, and bad weather are all common causes of auto accidents. In places like Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, where traffic is heavy, fender benders and multi-vehicle incidents are common. In addition, deer crossings, low visibility, and slippery roads frequently result in accidents in rural locations throughout the winter.
Because Pennsylvania has a choice no-fault insurance system, drivers have the option of either full or restricted tort coverage. While full tort permits more extensive legal action, limited tort limits the capacity to sue for pain and suffering unless the injuries are substantial. Determining your alternatives following an accident requires an understanding of your insurance policy.
Drivers should put safety first after a collision by looking for injuries, dialing 911, and, if at all possible, relocating to a secure area. Since a police report might be helpful for submitting insurance claims, it is imperative that the collision be reported to law authorities. If legal action is required, obtaining evidence—such as photographs, witness accounts, and medical records—can also be beneficial.
If you are coping with the tragic and devastating loss of a loved one due to a motor vehicle crash, knowing Pennsylvania’s insurance regulations and traffic laws can help make a tough situation easier to handle. Following an accident, being aware and ready can assist in safeguarding your rights and financial security.
