Changes coming to Browns Hill Road stemming from deadly motorcycle crash
Changes are on the way to Browns Hill Road near the Homestead Grays Bridge stemming from a deadly motorcycle crash that happened late last month. 33-year-old Robert Brimage was killed in a motorcycle crash along Browns Hill Road on May 29 after crashing with another vehicle that was traveling in the same direction. In the wake of the deadly crash, the City of Pittsburgh's Vision Zero Fatal Crash Response Team completed a site visit to the scene of where the crash occurred and will be making a number of changes to Browns Hill Road to help prevent future crashes. The city says that during overnight hours, traffic lights at the intersections of Imogene Road and Parkview Boulevard will "revert to red." Instead of staying green, traffic lights at those intersections will respond to real-time conditions instead of staying green to help cut down on chances for drivers to speed. At those intersections, the yellow and red phases of the traffic signal rotations will be changed to help cut down on rear-end crashes and reflective plates will be added to give more nighttime visibility to drivers. Lastly, pedestrians at the intersection of Browns Hill Road and Imogene Road will be given a 5-second head start when crossing the street. It's unclear how quickly the changes will be implemented.

Motorcycle crash survivor reunites with firefighters who saved his life
The Brief A Central Florida man seriously injured in a motorcycle crash meets the firefighters who helped save his life. After 90 days in the hospital, Kristopher Baker says he's gained a new outlook. His mother calls it nothing short of a miracle. ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. - A Central Florida man who spent months recovering from a devastating motorcycle crash was reunited Thursday with the first responders who helped save his life. What we know Kristopher Baker, a 34-year-old Central Florida resident, was seriously injured in a motorcycle crash on March 9 when he struck a guardrail on Lakeville Road near Clarcona. He was not wearing a helmet and sustained significant injuries, including the need for a shoulder replacement and skin grafts on both legs. Emergency crews from Orange County Fire Station 40 responded and had Baker airlifted to Orlando Regional Medical Center due to the severity of his condition. He spent three months hospitalized before his release last week. What we don't know The exact cause of Kristopher Baker's crash remains unclear and his long-term medical prognosis and recovery outlook are unknown. The backstory Baker's crash occurred on a road he was familiar with. He said he suddenly fixated on the guardrail and was unable to look away, leading to the impact. His injuries were life-threatening, and a bystander's 911 call led to his rapid transport by helicopter. First responders at the scene played a crucial role in stabilizing him quickly. What they're saying Kristopher Baker visited Orange County Fire Station 40 to meet the emergency crew that rushed to his side after he lost control of his motorcycle and slammed into a guardrail on Lakeville Road near Clarcona on March 9. "On my way home, the road I've been on a bunch of times, and I was just coming down, and for whatever reason, I just kind of locked eyes with the guardrail," Baker said. I just couldn't, I don't know, I couldn't look away. I don't know why." The crash left Baker with extensive injuries, including the need for a shoulder replacement and multiple skin grafts on both legs. He was not wearing a helmet at the time. First responders on scene recognized the severity of his condition and called for an emergency airlift to Orlando Regional Medical Center. He remained hospitalized for three months before being released last week. "The fact that he's alive today — I'm really, really surprised," one of the firefighters said at the reunion. Baker's mother credited the firefighters' quick action with saving her son's life. "Never seen anyone come back from it," she said.
