PITTSBURGH — A woman thinks she blew out a tire before crashing into a pole Thursday afternoon in Shadyside.

The accident was reported just before 1 p.m. Thursday  on Beechwood Court.

The woman told Channel 11 News she thinks her tire blew out because the steering wheel jerked to the right moments before she crashed.

A witness who helped the woman after the crash said she thinks the woman is lucky she wasn’t injured.
