Vehicle, tractor-trailer crash on Turnpike in Marshall Township, 1 person injured

At least one person was injured after a crash involving a vehicle and a tractor-trailer on the Turnpike in Marshall Township.

Allegheny County dispatchers say police officers, firefighters and medics were called to the 29.7 mile marker on I-76 East at 2:43 p.m. in Marshall Township on Sunday.

Investigators say that at least 1 person has been taken to a hospital from that location in a helicopter. They were listed in critical condition.

Wexford volunteer firefighters say they did a rapid side extrication when they arrived at the scene. It took them 10 minutes.

At around 3:00 p.m. All lanes were closed between the Cranberry Exit (28) and the Butler Valley Exit (39).

Traffic was so backed up that some people got out of their vehicles and began talking on the road.

All lanes were reopened just after 5:00 p.m.

Channel 11 has reached out to Pennsylvania State Police for more information and is waiting to hear back.
