12-year-old boy, adult woman hit by SUV outside Pittsburgh’s Westinghouse Academy

Two people were hit by a vehicle outside Pittsburgh Public Schools’ Westinghouse Academy in the city’s Homewood neighborhood on Wednesday afternoon.

This is awful news, especially hearing that the boy sustained “traumatic injuries” to his lower extremities.

Remember, when you get behind the wheel of a car, real lives are on the line. Our hearts are with the victims at this time.

It's been 10 years since a driver struck and killed Susan Hicks while she was bike commuting home from Pitt. So much has changed in the Oakland area since then.

On Oct 23rd, join Susan's friends and family, & BikePGH for a memorial and bike ride to Two Frays to celebrate her life and legacy.

We organize quarterly meetups & lots of bike/ped committees do neighborhood rides. We'd absolutely love to help support bike advocacy rides even more frequently.
