LOWER SAUCON TWP., Pa. — An accident between a sedan and tractor trailer hauling manure and mushrooms shut down a four mile stretch of Interstate 78 for more than three hours Tuesday morning.
Pennsylvania State Trooper Nathan Branosky said the crash at mile marker 67.1 caused the truck to lose its load, shutting down eastbound traffic to the Route 412 interchange.
"We're asking people to have patience with us right now. We're trying to clear the highway as quickly as possible," Branosky said.
The crash occurred around 8:03 a.m., Branosky said. A backhoe managed to clear the highway by 11:17 a.m., he later posted on social media.
The tractor trailer driver suffered minor injuries, Branosky said. The driver and the passenger of the sedan did not report any injuries, he said.
