(Pittsburgh, PA) A man is in critical condition after he was hit by a vehicle in Pittsburgh early yesterday morning. Allegheny County 911 officials confirmed to WPXI that the pedestrian crash took place on West Warrington Avenue near Boggs Avenue around 1:45 a.m. A Pittsburgh Public Safety official stated that officers arrived on scene to find an unconscious man in the road with a head injury and preliminary information indicates the suspects got into an SUV, then hit the victim while he was on the sidewalk, then sped away on Warrington Avenue. Medics took the male victim to a hospital in critical condition. In relation to the cause of this incident, homicide detectives are reviewing all of the video footage in the surrounding area and the scene was processed for evidence. Police confirmed today that thirty-eight-year-old Chanel Dyer of Pittsburgh was facing felony charges of attempted homicide and aggravated assault.

UPDATE: (3/3/2026) Investigators say a woman intentionally ran over her ex-boyfriend with his own SUV, while his mother was sitting in the front passenger seat. Police say Arnold Hardrick was found lying in the middle of Warrington Avenue early on Sunday morning, bleeding from the head, barely breathing. According to the criminal complaint, the SUV turned onto Warrington Avenue from Route 51 and pulled over on the median. Hardrick and the driver, identified as Dyer, exited the vehicle, then a physical altercation ensued. In an interview, Dyer admitted she was driving and said they had been drinking at several bars before the incident. She claimed Hardrick assaulted her inside the SUV and again after they stopped, including choking her. Dyer acknowledged she saw him standing in front of the vehicle, but told detectives she was unaware she struck him before pulling back onto Warrington Avenue. Hardrick suffered multiple internal injuries and a severe head injury and remains in critical condition as of yesterday evening.
