Shots fired call in Pittsburgh neighborhood leads to fiery crash
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — A shots fired call in Pittsburgh's Crafton Heights neighborhood on Wednesday led to a fiery crash.
Pittsburgh Public Safety said officers responded to a ShotSpotter alert in the area of Werder Street and Herrod Street around 2 p.m. on Wednesday. Officers at the scene found two shell casings and learned of a vehicle that fled toward Steuben Street.
Officers located the vehicle and watched as the driver hit another vehicle before taking a sharp turn on Arnold Street, hitting a pole, flipping over and catching fire.
Police extinguished the fire and lifted the vehicle off the man, who was taken to a local hospital in stable condition. No one else was injured, officials said.
Onlookers at the scene watched as crews turned the vehicle right side up on Arnold Street. The vehicle, a white Audi SUV, had some wheels ripped off and a bullet hole in the windshield.
"Police recovered a firearm and an undisclosed amount of cash from the vehicle," Pittsburgh Public Safety said.
Charges are anticipated against the man, who has not been identified.
