Route 422 was closed in both directions Friday, OCT. 17 after a tractor trailer was overturned in an accident between Route 345 and Lorain Road.
A tractor trailer travelling west struck a Hyundai Elantra attempting to turn in front of it. As a result of the crash, the tractor trailer was turned over and the driver of the tractor trailer was pinned inside, according to police.
The driver of the tractor trailer was transported to Reading Hospital for serious injuries and the driver of the Elantra refused medical treatment on the scene.
The crash resulted in a spillage of nearly 50,000 pounds of sewage along the west side of the roadway, according to Exeter Police. The east side was later reopened while the west side remained closed to clean up the spill. By 4:45 p.m., all lanes were reopened.
Police were assisted on the scene by Birdsboro Union Fire Department, Exeter Fire Department and Mount Penn Ambulance.
