A multi-vehicle crash on I-376 Eastbound in Pittsburgh resulted in injuries to at least three people last night. According to WPXI, Allegheny County dispatchers reported the incident between Grant Street and Forbes Avenue/Oakland exits. Authorities, including police, firefighters, and medics, were dispatched at around 5:30 p.m.

Details on the specifics of the crash were not immediately precise. However, multiple vehicles were involved, which led to the complete closure of eastbound lanes while emergency crews attended to the situation. PennDOT spokesperson Steve Cowan confirmed the information, and according to WTAE, all lanes were reopened shortly before 7 p.m. after the scene was cleared.
