Lower Saucon Township, PA (October 30, 2025) – A serious crash involving several tractor-trailers closed a section of Interstate 78 eastbound for nearly six hours late Wednesday night, October 29.
The collision occurred just before midnight between the exits for Route 412 and Route 33. County communication officials said paramedics transported at least one person to a local hospital for treatment after the crash. Emergency crews worked overnight to clear the wreckage and assess the reported gas leak. Authorities noted that the amount of gas that leaked remained unclear.
Crews reopened all eastbound lanes of I-78 to traffic early Thursday morning after completing cleanup and safety checks.
Officials continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the collision.
Our thoughts are with the injured individual, and we wish them a full and speedy recovery.
Truck Accidents in Pennsylvania
Truck accidents across Pennsylvania remain a major safety concern, particularly along busy routes where commercial traffic is constant. These collisions often result in life-changing injuries, damaged vehicles, and emotional trauma for victims and their families. Because tractor-trailers are so large and heavy, even a moment of inattention or a mechanical problem can lead to devastating consequences.
Some of the most common causes of truck crashes include driver fatigue, distracted driving, speeding, and equipment failure. Poor weather or cargo that shifts during transport can also increase the risk of an accident. When these factors combine on a busy interstate, the results can be catastrophic.
Victims of a truck accident in Pennsylvania often face significant physical, emotional, and financial challenges. Recovery can take months or even years, and medical expenses can pile up quickly. Those injured in these accidents may be entitled to seek compensation for:
- Medical bills and ongoing treatment – covering emergency care, hospital stays, rehabilitation, and future medical needs related to the crash.
- Lost income and reduced earning ability – providing relief for missed work and the long-term impact on your ability to earn a living.
- Pain and suffering – recognizing the physical pain and emotional distress caused by severe or lasting injuries.
- Vehicle damage – reimbursing costs for repairs or replacement of vehicles destroyed in the accident.
- Emotional distress and loss of enjoyment of life – compensating for mental anguish and the inability to enjoy daily activities as before.
