Tractor-Trailer Crashes Cause Traffic Disruptions

Multiple traffic incidents involving tractor-trailer crashes have caused significant disruptions on major highways in the eastern United States. On Interstate 81 in Pennsylvania, a crash blocked the left lane with no reported injuries, while on I-77 in South Carolina, a serious six-vehicle collision resulted in one hospitalization and major traffic backups. Emergency responders dealt with fuel spills from the trucks involved in the South Carolina accident, which occurred early Wednesday morning. In New York, an overturned tractor-trailer carrying steel plates on the Thruway led to lane closures and lengthy backups, though no injuries were reported. Traffic diversions were implemented in both states due to the accidents, with authorities urging caution among drivers. These incidents highlight ongoing safety concerns related to large commercial vehicles on busy highways.
