Tractor trailer now jack knifed in rock cut which completely shut down the interstate South. Tractor over the embankment also leaking fuel from ruptured saddle tank. Attempted to control the spill without success due to vehicle location, severe icing on rocks and white out snow conditions along with multiple other accidents in area. The task was also abandoned when the risk of serious injury was present by an unstable tractor trailer and poor terrain at the site. DEP notified along with Schuylkill EMA. Three total patients transported by EMS. |
