KDKA's Royce Jones was on scene to witness rescue crews pulling a woman from the hillside.
The crash forced Shaler Police to close Seavey Road between Mt. Vernon Drive and Christler Street.
Family of 80-year-old Barbra Sawicki said she was pulling out of her garage and pushed the wrong pedal before barreling over the hillside near her house.
