A car crashed into several parked vehicles at a used auto sales lot in Pittsburgh’s Carrick neighborhood early Monday morning before catching fire, according to WPXI. By the time WPXI’s news crews arrived, the flames had already been put out. Firefighters were still working on the smoke.
Emergency crews were dispatched to the scene around 5 am on Monday. The situation took place at Seran Auto Sales on Saw Mill Run Boulevard, not far from a lot that’s near one of Pittsburgh’s major commuter areas. The unsuspecting neighboring businesses were caught unaware by the accident.
Multiple vehicles on the lot were involved in the crash. It’s not clear, however, how many vehicles in total were involved with the clash. The car that began the chain of events didn’t stay in one piece, either. In fact, it caught fire after the crash and went up in a fiery blaze.
No injuries have been reported in connection with the crash, according to WPXI. The cause of the crash, the identity of the driver and whether any criminal charges may be filed have not been publicly described by Pittsburgh authorities. The aftermath, including damage to vehicles at Seran Auto Sales, was visible in raw video WPXI posted from the scene.
