PITTSBURGH, PA – A collision in Pittsburgh injured two Pennsylvania state troopers who were responding to a previous crash, reports WTAE.
The incident began when a car broke down shortly after midnight Tuesday on the Parkway North near the exit for Hazlett Street. The driver got out to push the disabled vehicle off the road, and a passing driver stopped to help.
At that point, authorities said the driver of a Dodge Ram 1500 struck the driver pushing his vehicle, and then left the scene. Pennsylvania State Police arrived to investigate, with a marked state police car that had its lights and arrow sticks activated.
Another vehicle struck the state police vehicle, injuring two troopers who were taken to an area hospital. The driver who had been pushing his car was also transported to the hospital. There was no immediate word on the extent of any of the injuries.
