WHAT WE FIRST REPORTED
A tractor-trailer has overturned on one of Indiana County’s major highways, causing some traffic problems this morning.
Indiana Fire Association was dispatched to the incident on Route 119 North just outside of Homer City near the Wayne Avenue on-ramp at 4:39 AM. No injuries were reported in the incident. The driver was able to get out of the truck with the help of some passers-by.
The crash has limited traffic flow to one lane in that area. Crews are working to clear the scene at this time. Fire officials believe that once the sun comes up, they’ll be able to see things better and work quicker to clear the scene.
As we get more information on this, we will pass it along to you.
