Tell us which one you think is the worst in the Forest Hills-Regent Square area.
Whether it's the volume of traffic, the timing of the lights or people who consistently run the light after it turns red, everyone has an intersection they love to hate.

The child was taken to Children's Hospital after accident on Maple Avenue.
A Penn Hills boy, about 4 or 5 years old, was reported to be in serious condition at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh Saturday night after being hit by a car while trick-or-treating near Edgewood Primary School.
