Commuters in Squirrel Hill experienced delays Wednesday morning when two Pittsburgh Regional Transit buses collided, causing a minor disruption in the neighborhood's transit flow. A collision on Murray Avenue involved an outbound 61D-Murray Short bus and an inbound 61C-McKeesport-Homestead bus around 11:45 a.m., WPXI reports. According to a PRT spokesperson, the 61D sustained damage to its left-side mirror after being struck by the 61C.
While there were no injuries among passengers of the 61D, two men aboard the 61C experienced minor injuries and were transported to local hospitals for evaluation, as confirmed by the same PRT spokesperson. One was taken to Allegheny General and another to UPMC Mercy, as detailed by Audacy.
The buses involved were quickly attended to, and any potential hazards from the incident were promptly cleared. Commuter safety and minimizing delays are a priority for PRT, which they reiterated in their response to the morning's events.
