No major injuries as multi-car crash snarls Parkway East traffic
Traffic approaching the Squirrel Hill Tunnels is moving slowly in both directions Saturday afternoon, the result of residual delays following a multi-vehicle crash.

Emergency dispatch supervisors in Allegheny County said no one involved in the crash was transported from the scene for injuries.
