A stabbing suspect is dead after crashing on a local highway on Sunday.
The Allegheny County Police Department says this investigation began around 8 a.m., when 911 dispatchers were notified of a reported stabbing on K Row in Robinson Township.
When first responders got on scene, they found a boy stabbed multiple times and a woman with several lacerations. The boy was taken to an area hospital in critical but stable condition. The woman was treated at a hospital for minor injuries.
ACPD detectives began investigating, gathering preliminary information that showed an adult man who knew the victims entered the home and stabbed them.
Investigators say the man then took off in a stolen vehicle, which later crashed along I-576 in South Fayette Township. He was pronounced dead at the crash scene.
Monday night, the Allegheny County Medical Examiner identified the man as Brian Allen Thomas, 36, of McKees Rocks.
State police say the man was driving south on I-79, taking the exit ramp to I-576. He failed to negotiate a right-hand curve and drove off the road and over an embankment, through an empty retention pond, over another embankment and through a chain link fence into a guard rail.
The vehicle rolled over and came to a rest on its roof, catching fire, state police say.
