Homicide charge filed after woman dies in McKees Rocks Bridge crash

A McKees Rocks man has been charged with homicide after a woman injured in a crash police say he caused two months ago died this week.

Allegheny County police filed charges Thursday against Christopher Vuckovich, 39.

Police said Vuckovich was driving eastbound on the bridge at 62 mph in a posted 35 mph zone. His vehicle crossed the center double yellow line and struck multiple vehicles in the other lane.

Vuckovich’s blood alcohol content was 0.11%, according to police. The legal limit is 0.08%.

Eight people were injured, including four who were in critical condition, police said.

A 54-year-old woman who was among the injured died Tuesday, police said.

The Tribune-Review’s news partners WPXI identified the woman as Terry Hamilton. According to her obituary, she was married to Jim Hamilton and “was an amazing person with a big heart.”

Friends are being received Friday, and a funeral service will be held by the William Slater II Funeral Service, 1650 Greentree Road, Scott Township, on Saturday.

County police charged Vuckovich with homicide by vehicle while driving drunk, involuntary manslaughter and related charges. He was to be taken to the Allegheny County Jail in Pittsburgh to await arraignment.

He did not yet have an attorney listed on a court documents.
