York Co, PA (December 3, 2024) – An injury tractor-trailer crash occurred early Tuesday morning, causing significant disruption on Interstate 83 South. The incident, reported by emergency dispatch, took place at approximately 2:30 a.m. between Exit 10: PA 214 – Loganville and Exit 8: PA 216 – Glen Rock.

According to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT), a southbound lane of I-83 was closed following the collision. The crash involved two tractor-trailers, and while details regarding the severity of injuries remain unclear, emergency responders confirmed that at least one person was transported to the hospital. The Pennsylvania State Police and Loganville Volunteer Fire Company were on the scene to handle the situation and ensure public safety.

The fire department assisted with the extraction of the vehicles, while state police and local authorities managed traffic, diverting vehicles around the closure and working to minimize congestion on the highway. After several hours, the closed lane was reopened, allowing traffic to resume more smoothly once the scene was cleared.

Though no fatalities have been reported, the crash serves as a reminder of the potential dangers associated with trucking accidents, particularly in the early morning hours when road conditions and visibility can be challenging. Drivers are encouraged to remain cautious and follow safe driving practices, especially in areas with heavy truck traffic.

Our thoughts and condolences are with all those affected by this incident, and we hope for a swift and full recovery for anyone injured.
