>>> PHOTOS: World War I memorial knocked over, flags scattered in Pittsburgh <<<<\/a><\/p>\n Channel 11 crews saw the World War I monument, located in the area of Lowrie Street and Ley Street in Troy Hill, lying on the ground and surrounded by caution tape.<\/p>\n Bronze eagles normally affixed to the monument were on the ground nearby, along with scattered mini American flags. Our crew saw tire marks in the road around it.<\/p>\n According to Pittsburgh Public Safety, police were sent to Lowrie and Ley streets around 4 a.m. for reports of a semi-truck that was either illegally parked or stuck in the road.<\/p>\n However, an update to 911 claimed the truck driver had hit a utility pole and a memorial.<\/p>\n Officials say the driver didn\u2019t stay on scene. Now, Pittsburgh police are reviewing surveillance video to identify them. Anyone with information is asked to call Zone 1 Police at 412-323-7201.<\/p>\n Utility crews were called to assess the pole.<\/p>\n This isn\u2019t the first time that the memorial has been knocked over. In 2014, a driver said he hit a patch of ice<\/a> and slid right into the memorial. <\/p>\n Neighbors previously told Channel 11<\/a> that the traffic island built around the monument is too big and makes it difficult for vehicles to navigate Lowrie Street. <\/p>\n The American Legion<\/a> indicates that the memorial honors Troy Hill residents who served in World War I. <\/p>\n Download the FREE WPXI News app<\/a> for breaking news alerts.<\/p>\n Follow Channel 11 News on Facebook<\/a> and Twitter<\/a>. | Watch WPXI NOW<\/a><\/p>\n TOP STORIES FROM CHANNEL 11 NEWS <\/p>\n \u00a92026 Cox Media Group<\/p>\n
