York County, PA (October 28, 2024) – A significant traffic incident occurred on Interstate 83 Northbound near Exit 24, Route 238/Emigsville, in Manchester Township around 7 a.m. this morning. A tractor-trailer crash blocked the roadway, leading to heavy traffic backups and severe delays for motorists in the area.
The collision resulted in a substantial obstruction, causing traffic to back up for up to six miles as emergency responders worked to clear the scene. Fortunately, the wreck has since been cleared, and traffic is now returning to a normal flow.
In addition to the crash, construction crews were conducting roadwork just a few miles north of the incident on Interstate 83 Northbound, between Exit 28, Route 297/Zions View/Strinestown, and Exit 32, Route 382/Newberrytown.
