Both lanes for eastbound traffic on U.S. Routes 22/322 are closed late this afternoon after a tractor-trailer of Pop Tarts crashed over a barrier and fell into the Susquehanna River earlier in the day.





Both lanes for westbound traffic are open.

The crash happened about 3:15 p.m. when the rig flipped over the concrete barrier in Middle Paxton Township not far from the Lady Liberty statue in the river. The driver walked away from the crash but was taken to a hospital for observation, according to a state trooper at the scene.

Traffic is being detoured to U.S. Routes 11/15 along the other side of the river.
