GLENSHAW, Pa. (AP) -- Police say one person is dead after a detached truck tire bounded across a Pittsburgh highway and smashed into an oncoming car.
Investigators say the tire came from a Ford F-450 with a tarp-covered trailer that was heading southbound on Route 28 in Shaler Township around 11 a.m. Friday.
Traffic was redirected as emergency crews responded to the highway.
They say the F-450 returned to the area a short time later.
