PITTSBURGH — Police said one woman was killed in an overnight crash on the Birmingham Bridge.
Investigators said the accident happened around 3:30 a.m. on the South Side end of the bridge.
The medical examiner identified the victim as 25-year-old Jequayla Turner, of Pittsburgh. Police say she was driving the wrong way on the Birmingham Bridge when her car hit the concrete wall of an unfinished bridge ramp.
