GREENSBURG, Pa. —

A coal truck and another hauling beer have collided in western Pennsylvania, closing part of a rural highway.

State police in Greensburg didn't immediately release the names of those involved in Thursday's crash on U.S. Route 22 near the junction of state Route 819 in Salem Township.

Beer was leaking onto the road following the crash, which closed the entire highway for a time.

The highway's eastbound lanes reopened before 7 a.m. but the westbound lanes remained closed. Police hoped to open them later in the morning.

Police at the scene say one person was hurt, but the injuries were not considered life-threatening.
