Statistics
Narrative
McKean Township, PA – Overnight, at approximately 11:20 PM, first responders from the McKean Hose Company were dispatched to the scene of a tractor trailer that had reportedly slid off the roadway between the Sterrettania Road exit and the Millfair Road overpass in the eastbound lanes. Erie County 911 reportedly received multiple calls about the accident. Emergency personnel faced heavy traffic, with vehicles backed up to the Sterrettania Road exit. While en route, no further details were available including the nature of the accident and possible injuries.
Ambulance 407 navigated through the congestion, eventually driving along the inside shoulder to reach the scene. Rescue 408, also en route, encountered similar traffic difficulties. Upon arrival, Rescue 408 confirmed that the tractor trailer had rolled onto its side. Chief 400 promptly assumed I-90 incident command. Initial reports from the scene indicated that diesel fuel was leaking from the engine compartment. Fortunately, no injuries were reported in the accident.
Due to the tractor trailer blocking all lanes of traffic, fire police from McKean and Franklin Township were requested to assist in shutting down I-90 at Sterrettania Road. First responders worked to manage traffic and contain the fuel spill.
Pennsylvania State Police were on scene investigating. No further information is currently available.
