Bus Crash

Paramedics help wheelchair-bound Joe Allessie out of a bus that crashed into a nine-foot overpass on Thursday, July 20, 2017 on Merchant Street in Pittsburgh’s North Shore neighborhood. Allessie was part of a group of veterans that came down to Pittsburgh from the Pennsylvania Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Home in Erie to attend a tailgate party and watch a Pirates game. No one was seriously injured in the crash, and the passengers were still able to make the game.
