Another truck rollover: Tractor trailer goes off Route 422 near
Pottstown, PA, spills load of trash
LOWER POTTSGROVE TWP., Pa. - A tractor trailer hauling
trash created quite a mess when it rolled off Route 422 near Pottstown on
Monday. The crash happened around 3:45 p.m. in the westbound lanes of 422 near
the Armand Hammer Boulevard exit in Lower Pottsgrove Township, Montgomery County.
The driver lost control of the 18-wheeler, causing the
rig to clip the edge of a bridge, go off the highway and down an embankment,
according to a fire official on the scene.
The rig came to rest on its side, spilling much of its
load. Both westbound lanes of 422 were closed for about an hour until crews
could manage to reopen one lane of travel. The driver was not injured.
