The vehicle turned onto East Liverpool Road and stopped at the intersection at a yellow flashing light for several seconds, then turned south. The deputy activated overhead lights and sirens and attempted to stop the vehicle, which wasn’t stopping. The vehicle passed several spots to pull over safely and continued, speeding up to 40 mph and then going back down to 20 mph. St. Clair Township Police responded to the OS Hill parking lot and the vehicle continued swerving and passed several roads before striking stop sticks deployed by St. Clair officers. The driver was a citizen of China with a passport and with a driver’s license from China. Both the driver and passenger were students at Carnegie Mellon University. The driver got her driver’s license in China two days before leaving for the United States on Aug. 28. Both said the driver was still learning how to drive and they did not understand they had to pull over and stop for flashing emergency lights behind them while driving. The driver, whose name was not listed on the report, was cited for marked lanes and impeding traffic. Both were released from the scene, with the rental vehicle towed due to all four tires being flat.
