Truck overturns, closing Interstate 70 westbound at New Stanton
The westbound lanes of Interstate 70 were closed for several hours in the vicinity of the Pennsylvania Turnpike interchange in New Stanton after a tractor-trailer overturned Saturday morning.
The rig overturned on the off-ramp from the turnpike to I-70 shortly before 10 a.m., a Westmoreland County 911 dispatcher said.
No one was injured, according to New Stanton Fire Chief Rob Cammarata. Nothing was spilled from the truck, which was hauling clothing, he said.
