(Pittsburgh, PA) Six people were reported to be injured after a vehicle went into a crowd at a festival in the East Liberty neighborhood of Pittsburgh yesterday evening. This occurred just before 6:30 p.m. that day on Broad Street at Centre Avenue. Witnesses claimed to first responders that the slow-moving vehicle had no present driver when that vehicle drifted into a crowd that showed up for the East Liberty Black Arts Soul Steppin’ Boots on the Ground Wellness Festival Harambee Style and Parade. According to a media release from Pittsburgh police, the male owner of the vehicle told police he thought he had placed the vehicle in park before exiting. That man also cooperated with police. Five women and one man were reported to be injured in the incident and five of the six got transported to hospitals in the area. Two of them were in stable condition, while three others were previously listed in serious, but stable condition. The sixth person did not want to be transported to a hospital after that person was evaluated at the scene. According to police, this incident is believed to be purely accidental.
