Tractor Trailer Hauling Rubbermaid Products Crashes Along Parkway West
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- A tractor trailer hauling Rubbermaid products crashed early Tuesday morning on the Parkway West, spilling some of its load and tying up traffic for much of rush hour.
The crash happened outbound between 22/30 and Robinson Town Centre Boulevard.
Officials have not yet said what caused the tractor trailer to crash, but part of it ripped open in the wreck, exposing the truck's load of Rubbermaid boxes and other products.
Debris was on the road.
Traffic began backing up near Campbells Run Road, and heavy delays were reported along the highway.
Anyone headed to Pittsburgh International Airport was urged to leave extra time.
