The eastbound Pennsylvania Turnpike was closed in Chester County on Tuesday, March 26, 2019 after a truck invovled in a crash with a car hit a bridge and spilled jugs of dish soap on the highway.

An extended closure of the Pennsylvania Turnpike between Downington and Valley Forge is expected Tuesday after a truck crash spilled dish soap on the highway in Chester County.
