According to Washington County 911, the crash happened just before midnight on I-79.
A viewer told Channel 11 that part of the tractor-trailer landed in Little Ten Mile Creek.
One person was injured in the crash. There’s no word on that person’s condition.
Dispatch told Channel 11 that nothing spilled into the creek from the crash. Fuel tanks were still removed from the truck as a precaution.
The truck was carrying a shipment of car radiators. Some of the radiators ended up in Cindy Andrew’s yard.
“We heard this awful terrible noise and it looks like nobody would have even survived that crash,” Andrews said. “We’ve heard tires popping, we’ve heard other crashes up there. but this has been the biggest by far.”
The debris from the crash is now cleaned up.
