Around 1100 hours, a single-vehicle crash occurred on the southbound lane of Route 222 in Northern Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. One car carrier rolled over, trapping the driver.

Three vehicles being towed were tossed from the trailer on to the busy highway. Four other vehicles on the carrier were smashed on the trailer as it rolled.

The driver was trapped for over one hour as rescue crews worked to extricate him. Crews from Adamstown, Denver, Reamstown (East Cocalico Twp. Fire), Spring Township, and multiple EMS crews remained on scene for more than three hours doing cleanup and hazard control.
