Three suffer minor injuries in multi-vehicle crash on I-70
A trucker and two motorists suffered minor injuries in a multivehicle pileup that closed westbound lanes of Interstate 70 for three hours early Thursday in Buffalo Township.
State police said the four-vehicle crash happened after Delles Daughenbaugh, 28, of Rural Hall, N.C., lost control of a tractor-trailer and it rolled over, blocking both westbound lanes of I-70 about 5:30 a.m.
Daughenbaugh, who was not injured, was cited for traveling too fast on the wet roadway, police said.
Another westbound tractor-trailer operated by Hans Edim, 38, of Carlisle, traveled up a grass embankment on the left side of I-70 to avoid the overturned vehicle, and it also rolling over and leaving him with minor injuries, police said.
Two other cars traveling west driven by Michael Olgilvie, 27, of Jacksonville, Fla., and Christopher Morris, 28, of Pittsburgh, then crashed into one of the trailers, police said. Both of those drivers suffered minor injuries.
Police said I-70 reopened to traffic in the area about 9:30 a.m. Thursday.
