According to Bryant, an eyewitness told police that pedestrian Wayne Brandt was standing at the curb on Forbes Avenue near McKee Place, waiting to cross the street when a Pittsburgh Steelers hard hat he was holding struck the back of a passing car.

Daniel Clemmons, the driver or the car, pulled over, got out of the car and argued with Brandt, according to police. The heated confrontation ended with Brandt staggering onto Forbes Avenue and being hit by a car.

Bryant said police are unclear as to how and why Clemmons ended up in the middle of the street.
