Tractor Trailer Full Of Trash Flips Over On Route 422

Commuters on Route 422 Monday morning were greeted with an unusual sight after a tractor trailer full of trash flipped over and scattered refuse across the highway.

The incident occurred sometime before 7 a.m. between the Trooper Road and Oaks exits, according to Montgomery County Active Incidents.

Traffic continued to move very slowly throughout the morning commute, and a lane restriction remained in place westbound at 12:30 p.m., according to 511PA.

It is not yet clear what caused the accident, although bystander photos from the scene show that the truck flipped over just after coming around a curve.

Cleaning crews responded to the scene to help remove the debris.

Motorists are advised to avoid that portion of 422 until cleanup is complete.
