DUQUESNE (KDKA) — A man is facing charges for allegedly driving through a road closure and nearly hitting eight firefighters in Duquesne early Sunday morning.
According to police, a pickup truck sheared a utility pole along State Route 837 around midnight. As a result, the road was closed between Miller and Commonwealth avenues.
Duquesne firefighters set up a detour in case wires from the dangling pole fell to the ground. The firefighters and first responders stayed at the scene to direct traffic.
