Crash Backs Up Traffic on I-86
UPDATE: 6:35 p.m. --
A tractor-trailer tipped over, spilling its load of shaved steel onto a car on I-86 this afternoon.
Both the driver of the car and the truck were taken to area hospitals. State police say their injuries are considered non-life-threatening.
Troopers say the accident happened between Red House and Salamanca (Exits 19 and 20) when the car made an abrupt lane change. The tractor-trailer driver tried to avoid hitting the car but flipped over onto its side.
At one point, traffic was backed up for about two miles while crews try to clean up the 40,000 pounds of shaved steel. Emergency and cleanup crews are still on the scene at this hour.
