Authorities ID West End Bridge fatal crash victim
The Allegheny County Medical Examiner’s Office identified the motorist killed Saturday in a three-vehicle crash on the West End Bridge as Eonna Devonna Lea Page, 25, of Pittsburgh.
City police, firefighters and EMS were dispatched to the bridge, which connect Pittsburgh’s West End with its North Side neighborhoods, at 2:35 a.m. for reports of the collision.
An SUV was traveling on Saw Mill Run Boulevard toward the West End Bridge when it hit a car traveling on West Carson Street towards McKees Rocks, Pittsburgh police spokeswoman Cara Cruz said.
The SUV kept going and then hit another car, which was on the bridge and heading to Saw Mill Run Boulevard.
Page, who was a passenger in the SUV, was pronounced dead on the Elliott side of the Ohio River span at 2:44 a.m., the medical examiner said. Police said Page was not wearing a seat belt.
The cause and manner of death has not yet been determined.
Three other people in the same vehicle, all of them male, had various injuries and were transported to a hospital, Cruz said.
No one from the other two vehicles was taken to a hospital.
Pittsburgh police are investigating.
