(West View, PA) According to Allegheny County police, a nineteen-year-old is dead after an early morning, multi-vehicle crash at the Ross Township-West View border in Allegheny County yesterday. The Allegheny County Medical Examiner’s Office identified the woman that passed away as nineteen-year-old Addalena Maiette, who was a 2025 graduate of North Hills High School and a member of the North Hills School District girls soccer team who both studied carpentry at the A.W. Beattie Career Center of Allison Park and was ready to begin her career at West Shore Home in Pittsburgh. This crash that killed Maiette occurred after 6 a.m. yesterday at the Cornell Avenue and Highland Avenue intersection. An early investigation of this crash shows that in the left-hand lane of Highland Avenue were three cars that were stopped, and when the third vehicle in line tried to pass the other two vehicles that were stopped by merging into the oncoming lane, the first vehicle in line tried to turn left, which is what caused the collision. Maiette was the driver of one of the three vehicles involved in this crash. According to police, due to the amount of damage sustained in the crash, they are not able to determine which of the vehicles was attempting to pass and which was attempting to make a turn. Power outages also occurred because of this crash yesterday, which was also when Northgate Middle-High School cancelled their activities and classes. According to the website of Duquesne Light Company, nearly 1,000 people were without power in the area after this crash. This crash also brought down a utility pole in West View yesterday morning. Allegheny County Police say that another driver involved in this crash, who is a man who is unidentified at this time, is doing fine. That undientified male driver who was involved in this crash had no injuries. This crash is still being investigated and if you have any other information about this crash, call 1-833-ALL-TIPS.
