Summary:

Just after 4:30 p.m., Pittsburgh Police, Fire, and EMS were called to the intersection of Brighton Road and Jacksonia Street along the California-Kirkbride and Central Northside border for reports of a vehicle and pedestrian collision.

Responding units located two juvenile victims—both 11-year-old females—who had been struck. One of the females was alert and conscious. She was transported in stable condition to UPMC Children’s Hospital. The other female was unresponsive; she was transported in critical condition to UPMC Children’s Hospital.
