An early morning mishap in downtown Pittsburgh has resulted in a partial overturn of a tractor-trailer, causing a traffic snarl that could likely persist throughout the morning commute. The incident, which took place around 6:30 a.m. at the intersection of Stanwix Street and Fort Pitt Boulevard, has drawn immediate response from local authorities.
According to WTAE, the cab of the tractor-trailer remained upright, while the trailer itself had come to rest awkwardly, its contents spilled across the tarmac. The spectacle of the overturn is sure to attract onlookers and is already contributing to the burgeoning traffic congestion as commuters navigate around the blocked-off area.
Local law enforcement officials have cordoned off the scene, with no passage available at the intersection of Fort Pitt Boulevard and Stanwix Street. The Pittsburgh Police have not provided an estimation on when the roadway will be reopened, as the situation unfolds, as detailed by WPXI.
