L. SAUCON TWP., Pa. \u2014 A crash on Interstate 78 involving at least three vehicles, including two tractor-trailers, brought traffic to a standstill Monday night.<\/p>\n

A Northampton County emergency communications supervisor said the call came in just before 9 p.m. for a multivehicle accident near the Route 378 underpass by Hellertown.<\/p>\n

Officials say one tractor-trailer traveling east lost control, crossed into the westbound lanes and rolled over, causing another tractor-trailer to strike a vehicle. The tractor-trailer that crossed lanes was carrying a load of cranberry juice.<\/p>\n

It’s not known at this time if anyone was seriously injured, but authorities say one person had to be freed from one of the tractor-trailers.<\/p>\n

As of 11:35 p.m. Monday, the 511 Pennsylvania website<\/a> indicated that I-78 westbound between Exit 67 (Route 412 – Hellertown\/Bethlehem) and Exit 60B (Route 145 North – South Fourth Street) was closed. Traffic on I-78 westbound was being rerouted onto Route 412.<\/p>\n

Authorities say westbound traffic is at a standstill, and drivers are advised to avoid the area if possible. Travel is also slow in the eastbound lanes of I-78.<\/p>\n
