So the guy who died was driving that red municipalty garbage truck?
Holy cow- My eyes fooling me or did a Semi box truck rear end a pneumatic?? Looked like nothing left of anyrthing -
I think there were 2 accidents in opposing directions at the same time according to this statement...
"According to Trooper Brian Watkins, of the Milton barracks of the Pennsylvania State Police, one tractor-trailer had stopped for an unrelated accident westbound on the interstate just prior to the 213 mile marker, another tractor-trailer jackknifed as it approached the accident and blocked both lanes of travel behind it and McCormick’s truck slammed into both vehicles causing disabling damage to all of them. Another vehicle hit the back of the jackknifed trailer forcing it to sideswipe a fifth vehicle, Watkins said."
Sounds like the fatal came up on one too fast to stop before hitting the jack-knife truck that had stopped for one of them....
UPDATE: Berwick man killed in Interstate 80 crash involving tractor-trailers, garbage trucklovesthedrive Thanks this. -
However this accident is severe enough that there is no real way to recognize what anything was prior. Excepting that pipe that all bulk tankers have between the tandem to off load product.Lepton1 Thanks this. -
