Pittsburgh police have issued an arrest warrant in connection with a fatal 2021 crash in the Strip District, according to Tribune-Review news partner WPXI-TV.

Leonard Saus is wanted on charges of vehicular homicide stemming from the crash on April 24.

Police said Saus was driving an SUV that sped through a red light at 16th Street and Liberty Avenue and struck a car driven by Pamela McAllister of Pittsburgh, which had been turning left from 16th Street.

McCallister was taken to an area hospital in critical condition, where she later died.

Cameras along the Liberty Avenue intersection captured the crash, police said.
