PITTSBURGH — One person was killed and four were injured in a multi-vehicle crash in Downtown Pittsburgh Saturday.
The crash happened on the 10th Street Bypass.
An SUV crashed into a concrete barrier and rolled, causing a car to crash into another SUV. The driver of the car was killed.
The Allegheny County medical examiner identified the victim as Michael Markilinski, 61, of Crescent Township.
People who lived near Markilinski called him a wonderful neighbor and proud grandfather.
"I think I met maybe one of his grandchildren. Like I said, I feel bad for the whole family," said Alenander Chester, a neighbor.

Pittsburgh police have not given a definitive cause for the accident; however, a pop-up rain shower did move through the area just before the crash.
