The northbound lanes of the Pennsylvania Turnpike are closed as crews respond to reports of a fatal crash between the Route 903 slip ramp and the Pocono exit.
Officials are reporting a tri-axle dump truck ran into a vehicle disabled in the construction zone.
Maintenance crews are in the process of u-turning passenger vehicles.
Motorists, according to turnpike officials, will travel south in the north lanes and exit at the on ramp at Exit #87 for Route 903.
“Do not u-turn until you are directed by a turnpike employee or other emergency personnel,” turnpike officials posed on social media. “If you are not u-turned (commercial vehicles & passenger vehicles), you may be directed off at a temporary construction gate.”
More information will be posted as it is released.
