Four people suffered minor injuries in a multi-car accident involving 12 crashes on I-376 near the Squirrel Hill Tunnels on Thursday night.
The westbound lanes of the Parkway East were shut down for a half-hour as state police began their investigation of the crash, according to Tpr. Melissa Bondarenka.
The crash was reported around 2:40 p.m. outside the tunnel in the westbound lanes of Interstate 376.

Additional information was not immediately available. Bondarenka said troopers were still investigating the crash as of 10 p.m.
