It goes out of its way to mention that the rider was wearing a helmet, which I hate, because it had no impact on the crash and if he weren't wearing one would allow people to blame the victim. It actually does cite a crash history, but only because a crash happened here THE DAY BEFORE.

It cites the County Coroner's Office, which makes it easier to do further follow up. It again says that the rider was hit by a car and not by a driver with their car, giving the vehicle agency rather than the person operating it. It does mention the type of car.

It does read a little bit like simply reproducing something from CSX's PR department, so having another source, like whichever officials responded, would be nice.

The @wtae4.bsky.social does share the exact time and location, although no map or other image. It refers to "officials" responding rather than a specific group of first responders. It doesn't describe any history of similar crashes at this site.

The video does indicate that the crash occurred mid-block, that the surrounding land uses are mostly natural (and therefore don't generate a ton of traffic), and suggests that the vehicles were a minivan and a car or station wagon.

It doesn't mention if speeding, medical incident, vehicle malfunction, distracted driving, or anything else contributed. It doesn't describe crash history or typical conditions, so we don't know if similar crashes have happened or if speeding is common here.

The article doesn't share the time (just "afternoon"), the precise location, or the first responders (just "authorities"), which makes it hard to get further information. It doesn't share vehicle information, which makes it difficult to reach conclusions about how vehicle type affected the crash.

While the @wtae4.bsky.social article does share time and location as well as who the first responders were (although no link to a report or anything), it doesn't mention the vehicles like the KDKA story, and neither of them mention crash history or improvements that could prevent similar crashes.

This article (same crash but from @wtae4.bsky.social) shows photos of the crash and video of the intersection during more normal operation, which gives us a good idea of what the intersection is like, although I do think an aerial image along with the photos would be helpful.

They mention vehicles We can see the person in the Ford Explorer (big SUV) had minor injuries while the person in the Honda Civic (small car); maybe we should regulate SUVs so they're less dangerous? The description of events makes it unclear who hit whom. And of course there's no crash history.

Oh no I didn’t hear that one! But I did see a sign with a cardigan that said something like ”Everyone is my neighbor” and I loved that.

Not directly, they were too nice (and Jason has a lot of power when it comes to state roads so people want to stay on his good side). But some folks did make points about "we need to do this, even though it's hard," or "It's possible, but you have to make it a priority," stuff like that.

Which doesn't mean the business owners are done; even they said it looks unsafe with drivers having to cross the lane to park. They're still going to argue that taking away the lane causes them a hardship.

The primary legal argument the business owners were making was that the design, which included one 15-ft vehicular travel lane, violated the International Fire Code, which requires 20 ft of clear space on any road used to access a building. The new design gets a lane and complies with the fire code.
