No injuries were reported when two tractor-trailers crashed Wednesday evening in the eastbound lanes of the Pennsylvania Turnpike east of New Stanton.

The crash was reported at about 8:45 p.m. near mile marker 77. Eastbound traffic remained restricted to a single lane at about 10 p.m., according to turnpike spokesperson Crispin Havener.

A load of sports drinks and athletic shoes apparently spilled from one of the rigs, Havener said.

Firefighters from New Stanton and Mt. Pleasant were dispatched to the scene.
