UQUESNE, Pa.—The 77-year-old chief of emergency medical services in a Pittsburgh suburb has died while responding to a car crash.
Duquesne (DOO’-kayn) EMS chief Harry Moore died shortly after he responded to a multiple vehicle crash on Thompson Run Bridge near the Kennywood Park amusement complex Sunday night.
Mayor Phil Krivacek (KRIH’-va-chek) says Moore had heart problems and it’s believed he had a heart attack about 7:30 p.m. He died a short time later at UPMC Braddock hospital.
Two people were hurt in the three-vehicle accident, but their injuries were not believed to be life-threatening.
Police say Moore died after walking to the crash scene. Duquesne is about 10 miles southeast of Pittsburgh.
