Good morning, Pittsburgh.

A crash shut down the outbound lanes of Route 28 at the 31st Street Bridge on July 9th, leaving one lane open while inbound reopened yet traffic continued to back up toward the city—dispatchers reported at least one person was taken to a hospital.

A Pittsburgh man, Cornelius P.

Tucker, 33, was arrested on July 3 for stealing hundreds of identities to make over $100K in purchases from Lowe's and Giant Eagle — he resold the items on Facebook and now faces over 200 felony counts.

An Uber driver and a passenger were shot early Wednesday on Homestead’s West Street and Munhall’s West Miller Avenue and remain in stable condition at area hospitals—police are investigating with no arrests made yet.
