Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania — A Pitcairn man accused in a deadly DUI crash on Interstate 376 is now in custody.
According to the Allegheny County Sheriff’s Office, Sheriff Kevin M. Kraus announced that Jordan Bowyer, 24, was taken into custody Monday after facing multiple charges connected to a September 2024 crash that killed two people.
Investigators say the crash occurred along I-376 in September 2024, when a single vehicle accident allegedly involved Bowyer as the driver. Authorities said the crash killed a 20-year-old passenger, while 24-year-old Jordan Bowyer was identified as the operator, and a 26-year-old passenger suffered serious injuries.
Following an investigation, Pennsylvania State Police charged Bowyer with homicide by vehicle and DUI, along with additional related charges. Officials said an arrest warrant was issued Saturday after the charges were filed.
According to the sheriff’s office, detectives from the Allegheny County Sheriff’s Office learned Bowyer was already on house arrest at his Pitcairn home in two separate cases under Pre-Trial Services supervision.
Deputies went to the residence Monday and took Bowyer into custody without incident, authorities said. He was then transported to the Allegheny County Jail.
The investigation into the crash was led by Pennsylvania State Police, who previously filed the charges following their review of the incident.
The arrest closes a months-long effort to locate and detain the suspect connected to the fatal interstate crash.
