Woman, child pulled from flipped car on Hazelwood Avenue

PITTSBURGH — Emergency responders pulled two people, including a child, from a car that rolled over in Greenfield on Thursday morning.

The crash happened around 8:30 a.m. on Hazelwood Avenue near Frank Street. A woman and her daughter were in the four-door sedan went it ended up on its roof. Both were conscious and alert when emergency responders removed them from the car and took them to the hospital.

TRENDING NOW:

It was not immediately clear what caused the crash, but neighbor Christian Smuts said it isn’t the first time there’s been a problem at that intersection. In fact, it’s the second crash this week.

"We heard another loud crash outside our window," he said. "Looked out the window and saw a car upside down with a child hanging out of it."

Smuts' car was rear-ended in the same spot as Thursday’s crash. He has a rental car at the moment, and the car that flipped this morning hit it before rolling over.

"Crashed into our rental car," he said. "We got a rental car because our other car was totaled three days ago."

Neighbors call that stretch of road dangerous. Smuts wants a traffic study done or "some kind of indicator that people need to slow down."
