At approximately 4:00 a.m., Pittsburgh Police from Zone 1 were dispatched to the intersection of Lowrie Street and Ley Street in the city’s Troy Hill neighborhood for initial reports of a semi-truck either illegally parked or stuck in the roadway.
While officers were en route, the call was updated to reflect that the truck driver had struck a utility pole and a nearby war memorial.
The truck driver did not remain at the scene.
The utility company was called to address the damaged pole.
Pittsburgh Police are reviewing area camera footage and are working to identify the driver of the truck. Anyone with information is asked to call Zone 1 Police at 412-323-7201.
