PITTSBURGH — A dirt bike driver was killed Saturday evening after colliding with a Pittsburgh Regional Transit bus in Homewood, according to investigators.
The crash happened just before 6 p.m. at the intersection of Brushton and Frankstown avenues. The Allegheny County Medical Examiner’s Office later identified the man as Deshawn Davis, 33.
Witnesses who saw the collision told Channel 11 they are still shaken up.
“I’ve never seen anything like that in my life, and just standing there watching his body not move, my heart just broke,” said Tracy Hall.
Hall and her 12-year-old son, Chandler Thomas, said they were inside their food truck nearby when the crash happened.
“He was riding his bike, and the bus was already crossing the road, and he just went straight into it,” Thomas said.
Investigators remained at the intersection for more than two hours Saturday night, working to piece together exactly what led up to the collision.
“My customer said, ‘Oh,’ which made me then look, and I could see through the front window that there was a man laying on the ground,” Hall said.
Hall said she frequently parks her food truck in the neighborhood and called the loss of life heartbreaking for the community.
“Just to have this happen basically right outside, it’s just tragic for everybody around here,” she said.
Port Authority Police are investigating.
