MARPLE TOWNSHIP, PA — A tractor-trailer overturned Friday morning on Interstate 476 in Marple Township, injuring the driver and shutting down northbound traffic, officials said.

The truck toppled onto its side at around 6:15 a.m. on I-476 North, near Exit 5 to Route 1. Photos shared by the Springfield Fire Company show the vehicle on the grass median.

The driver was treated and transported by Springfield Ambulance. Their condition was unavailable as of this writing.
