Pittsburgh salt truck driver wins job back after he was fired for failing to report crash
A Pittsburgh Department of Public Works salt truck driver who was fired last month after failing to report a crash involving three parked cars has won a reprieve.
The Mayor’s Office said Friday that the driver won his job back through a union grievance procedure. City officials have not released his name.
Pittsburgh fired the driver after his truck sideswiped three vehicles parked along 54th Street in Lawrenceville. The crash happened Jan. 13. City officials said at the time that the truck skidded on the snow-covered street and a salt spreader attached to its rear struck the vehicles.
Damages were extensive, and the driver drove away without reporting the mishap, they said.
