Wells said the street has a reputation for being extremely dangerous.

He told Channel 11 he’s less worried about the damage to his truck and more nervous about the reckless drivers on his street.

“This can be fixed but someone’s life that would affect multiple lives that cannot be fixed. So the whole street situation is what has me upset,” Wells said.

Wells also said he’s just thankful the crash didn’t happen when his kids were heading to the bus stop.

Pittsburgh police conducted a field sobriety test on the woman driving the car. We’re working to find out if charges will be filed.
