Tractor trailer driver uninjured after driving off I-79
There were no injuries when a tractor-trailer drove off the roadway on Interstate 79 in South Strabane Township Monday morning.
According to South Strabane Fire Department Chief Scott Reese, the tractor-trailer was traveling north on I-79 and got on the ramp to merge onto Interstate 70.
To avoid hitting a vehicle in front of him, which Reese says may have hesitated to merge, the driver swerved off the road into an embankment. The driver was not injured. The accident occurred about 7:50 a.m.
