A fender-bender in a Pittsburgh parking garage Tuesday pushed one car through a concrete barrier, leaving the vehicle hanging over the sidewalk several stories below.
A driver rear-ended a parked vehicle in a UPMC parking garage on Aiken Avenue in the city’s Shadyside neighborhood, a UPMC spokesperson told TribLive.
That parked vehicle knocked a concrete barrier to the ground, the spokesperson said. The vehicle then partially hung over the edge of the structure.
Photos showed the parked vehicle, a light-colored sedan, hanging off a ledge on the garage’s fourth floor. The structure appeared to be six stories tall.
Both cars later were towed, the UPMC spokesperson told TribLive. The motorist who hit the parked car, who has not been named, “is said to be OK,” UPMC said.
Officials declined further comment.
The multi-story parking garage is open 24 hours a day and provides pay parking for nearby UPMC Shadyside hospital. That 520-bed facility has been serving Pittsburghers since 1866.
