Wed. 6:30 pm: Truck crashes on I-80 in Girard

GIRARD – Traffic is flowing slowly on Interstate 80 near the Route 711 bridge after a tanker truck crashed, according to the Ohio State Highway Patrol.

The accident happened just after 5 p.m. in the westbound lane after the tanker swerved and tipped onto the wall of the 711 bridge in Girard.

The tanker was empty.

Patrol dispatchers said traffic is being allowed to use the berm at the crash scene to alleviate traffic congestion, which at one point was backed up for nearly a mile.
