Narrative

McKean Township, PA – This afternoon, shortly after 4:45 PM, first responders from Mckean Hose Company were dispatched to a motor vehicle accident involving an RV rollover on I-90 westbound near the 20 mile marker. Due to the severity of the incident, STAT MedEvac was placed on standby. Initial reports indicated that the camper trailer had overturned while still attached to a truck, which remained upright.

Medic 2 was the first unit on scene, confirming that the overturned trailer was blocking both westbound lanes. Chief 400 reported traffic backed up past Bargain Road while en route to the station. Pennsylvania State Police requested fire police assistance to close I-90 Westbound at the Cloverleaf interchange. Fairview Fire and Rescue, along with McKean’s Utility 409, managed the Cloverleaf closure, while Perry Hi-Way Hose Company’s Utility 438 closed the westbound ramp at Peach Street, as traffic backups extended further east. Franklin Township Volunteer Fire Department's fire police assisted with traffic control, ensuring that vehicles followed the official PennDOT detour from I-79, directing traffic onto West Road and then to Sterrettania Road.

Upon arrival, Medic 2 confirmed no injuries and placed STAT MedEvac back in service. Additional emergency units accessed the scene by traveling eastbound in the westbound lanes. Chief 400 reported that Ambulance 407 was on-site, with the overturned vehicle completely obstructing both lanes. Chief 400 assumed command, directing Rescue 408 to also approach from the east via the westbound lanes. Pennsylvania State Police were present, conducting an investigation, while Auto Recovery Technicians from Dave's AuTow worked to clear the roadway. Further details are unavailable at this time.
