A man whose car sped through a Harmar parking lot Wednesday morning before rolling over and landing in a creek was found dead in the vehicle, but it remains unclear what caused the crash or the man’s death.
The crash happened just after 8 a.m. off Gulf Lab Road, near the intersection of Freeport Road and Route 910.
Police said the car, a Tesla, traveled at a high rate of speed across the parking lot of a Primanti Bros. restaurant and struck a parked car before going into the creek.
First responders found the man dead inside the car, police said. Authorities had not identified him as of late Wednesday afternoon.
Investigators who arrived at the scene after the crash could be seen inspecting the electric vehicle charging stations in the adjacent Target parking lot.
Allegheny County Police, who are leading the investigation, did not offer further details Wednesday.
