The man accused of causing a violent crash along Penn Avenue in Wilkinsburg is now facing a federal gun charge.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The massive crash happened last Thursday night near the intersection of Penn Avenue and East Swissvale Avenue<\/a>, leaving vehicles scattered across the road, including an SUV that landed on its side.<\/p>\n

Pittsburgh Police said they tried to pull Dior Richardson over in the city’s East Hills neighborhood because his window tint was too dark.<\/p>\n

Richardson then took off, according to police, who said he then crashed into the four other vehicles. Nine people were hurt in the crash.<\/p>\n

No other information was released by law enforcement on Thursday night.\u00a0<\/p>\n
