An eyewitness photo taken near the scene of the I-78 accident.
A Saucon Source reader has reported that as of 3:30 p.m. I-78 eastbound traffic is “bumper-to-bumper” in Lower Saucon Township between the Hellertown (Rt. 412) exit and Rt. 33 interchange following an accident involving two tractor-trailers.
It is unknown at this time if there were any injuries as a result of the wreck.
The eyewitness said the trucks were both “across the road” following the accident and shared a photo that shows Lower Saucon Fire Rescue vehicles and a Channel 69 News camera crew near the scene of the crash, and what appears to be one of the vehicles in the median.
The photo appears to have been taken near the Applebutter Road overpass.
Motorists should avoid the area and seek alternate routes for the time being.
An eyewitness photo shows the cab of one of the two tractor-trailers pressed up against guide wires in the median strip between the eastbound and westbound lanes of I-78 in Lower Saucon Township.
