Trooper Bondarenka said police can't say exactly what led them to believe the incident may have been intentional, but said police labeled the crash an aggravated assault because of witness statements, physical evidence and Mr. Ulus' state of mind.
"There are a few more details to the story, but we can't release that right now," she said....
...Mr. Ulus did not know Ms. Grimm and she appears to be a random victim who was in the wrong place at the wrong time, Trooper Bondarenka said.

I'm posting this because the driver's name is Turkish (a country overwhelmingly Muslim) and he seems to have intentionally veered left to cross the median in a maneuver that very likely was done intentionally (as the Penn. State Police trooper suggests in the article).
Although the article starts by discussing the driver's reckless and speeding history, it becomes apparent that this crash was likely INTENTIONAL, directed against random victim(s).... an attack? A strange one, to be sure. But not the way people normally commit suicide, I don't think.
Could it be Sudden Jihad Syndrome? We don't know. But at the moment this incident is flying mostly below radar, yet it is difficult to explain the maneuvers of the fatal car (see map diagram, see photo). Driver had to veer suddenly left and then straighten out into oncoming traffic, and the police have said the maneuver may well have been intentional.
It happens that only the offending driver was killed, so far the main victim seems to be surviving. Still, this is a highly suspicious incident that bears follow-up.
The paper has disabled comments for this article and for another article on the crash. They don't want the public to be able to discuss what happened here????
Sadly, this is sometimes the method of suicide chose by people.
really? Take out innocent people? That is so horrible....
Still, I’d like to know the full story on this guy, who he is, whether this is just a random mental disturbance or something else.
Yeah, if he was waging JIhad he’d want to do something that left no doubt in anyone’s mind that this was about Islam.
Not something that could end up looking like a routine traffic accident.
Islam is a mental disturbance.
Thanks for posting this.
I suppose you’re right..... probably just a random nutcase..... but maybe unhinged by Islam.....
The police seem to think that this was intentional, and supposedly have more info to back that up, so that is likely the case. However, my first thought is that he was behind cars going 50 mph, and he wanted to go 80 mph, and felt that neither speeding nor directional laws applied to him.
Dying on squirrel hill, next to the tunnel...
Sounds like a country western song.
No mention of explosives in the car does not mean there were no explosives in the car in a democrat governed state.
Especially when they almost tell the reader they haven’t quite worked out the details they’re willing to share with the readers.
The amazing thing was that he found a time of day when you could get up over 25 MPH anywhere NEAR the Squirrel Hill Tunnel.
Setting off a bomb in the tunnel WOULD be a very effective terrorist act. Major damage to that tunnel would snarl rush hour traffic for months.
