Multiple Semi-Truck Overturns Block Interstate Ramps, Prompt Emergency Responses

Several incidents of overturned commercial trucks have caused significant traffic disruptions across the United States. In Seattle, a large freight truck rolled over near the West Seattle Bridge, with the driver in stable condition and emergency crews advising drivers to avoid the area. A similar event occurred on an I-80 exit ramp in Pennsylvania, where a Freightliner Cascadia overturned during a curve, blocking the ramp for hours; the driver was uninjured but cited for a traffic violation. In Portsmouth, New Hampshire, an overturned tanker truck on I-95 prompted a large-scale emergency response due to entrapment concerns and potential hazardous material risks, causing major traffic delays. Additionally, a tractor-trailer carrying 35,000 pounds of apples overturned on a ramp in Nashville, closing the interstate ramp for several hours. These incidents underscore the dangers of commercial vehicle accidents and their impact on traffic flow and public safety.
