Shortly after 6 a.m., SkyForce10 captured images of the wreck, with tow trucks taking some cars away and a backup. At least one driver could be seen trying to turn around on the highway, something NBC10 First Alert Traffic reporter Sheila Watko strongly advises against.
Drivers were being forced off at Highland Avenue and would need to reenter 309 at Susquehanna Road.
Police warned the roadway could be closed for an extended period of time. However, lanes reopened around 7 a.m.
