PHILADELPHIA (CBS)--Chopper 3 was over the scene of the Pennsylvania Turnpike where a multi-vehicle accident involving a passenger car and a tractor-trailer has blocked the right lane at mile post 345.2E.
According to state police, a tractor trailer fell down an embankment around mile marker 345.2 in the eastbound direction. The right lane is currently blocked by the car.
