WPXI - Traffic Updates for your Morning Commute from Trisha Pittman ... + random thoughts. ~Following is not an endorsement. Your tweets might be used on air~
I am blessed beyond measure to have had a friendship with Dr Freddie Fu. What a charismatic, intelligent, caring, and humorous man! I have shed endless tears this week, knowing that the world was losing a beautiful soul. Yet I know the world is a better place because of him. ❤️
THANK YOU TRUCK DRIVERS! You Can See the Truck Drivers Lining Up at the I-79 Bridgeville Rest Stop- They're Keeping this Country Going Right Now and They Deserve a Break!
Let’s Talk Merging. PennDOT encourages drivers to use the Zipper Merge in single-lane construction zones. Keep in mind: trying to block someone from zipper/late merging is considered aggressive driving. Aggressive drivers get citations and fines are doubled in construction zones.
Here are the first puppy / adoption day pictures of my girls, Matilda & Fannie, in honor of
#NationalPuppyDay
. So many rescues have been a part of our family over the years. I have loved all of them, and their unique personalities. ❤️🐾
Heck No! This is just part of what makes Pittsburgh great... the ability to figure out / read signs and change lanes at a minutes notice... the lower level overhead signs on the Ft Pitt and Ft Duq Bridges have trained us well.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! A women just gave birth on Route 28 Inbound, after the Harmar Interchange. One Lane is Still Blocked - Mom and Baby are on the way to the hospital.

How does a girl get so lucky? I’ve been blessed to work
@WPXI
for the past 20 years. I started on-air at Channel 11 in October of 2002. I can honestly say that I LOVE my job and LOVE my coworkers. The zero floated to the ceiling of the newsroom - so Scott filled in.
Congratulations

Said “Temperatures are Going to Dip like the Thunderbolt at Kennywood!” If Scott and I were on the Racer, my car would win. Just Saying.
I felt 800 years old! Adis wants to clarify - He knew what a Walkman was ... but he didn't know how it worked. So, as part of our "when I was your age program", I explained. Tomorrow we'll discuss rotary phones. 🤣🤣🤣
