PITTSBURGH — A car struck a gas meter Monday morning as a woman was driving her three children to school, officials said.
The car was driving along Nobles Lane in Pittsburgh’s Carrick neighborhood when it slid off the road about 8:30 a.m., just minutes after the woman left her house.
“I got a phone call 10 minutes later saying she'd crashed. She slipped off the road,” Evan Ladd, the woman’s boyfriend, said.
