Truck accident on Parkway East

Churchill Fire Company responded to an tractor trailer accident at 0500 on the Parkway East between the Wilkins and Penn Hills exits on the eastbound side.   The tractor had spun on slippery roads and slid into the guard rail.  The trailer was blocking two lanes of the highway about 300 yards before the Penn Hills exit.

122 Rescue responded, checked the scene for hazards and remained on scene for approximately two hours.  Flares and traffic cones were deployed to direct traffic into the left lane until the truck was towed off the road.

The accident occurred only 100 yards from the location where weeks earlier an suv went through the guard rail and over the hillside off the Parkway.  See incident report here.
