KLINE TOWNSHIP, SCHUYLKILL COUNTY - All lanes of Interstate 81-Northbound are back open after a tractor trailer accident Friday morning.
State Police say Michael Llewellyn of Berwick got distracted while driving his tractor trailer on I-81 in Kline Township. That's near McAdoo. Troopers say the rig hit a bridge wall and guide railing before going down a large embankment just before 5:00 AM.
The 55-year-old was trapped for a time but was not seriously hurt.
Because of the traffic, drivers were forced to slow-down and wait in back-ups Friday morning in Schuylkill County. | |
