The unnamed 64-year-old driving a 2007 Chrysler Town and County minivan crossed over over the eastbound lane, plowing through "multiple barricades" inside the Tuscarora Tunnel on Thursday, January 12, 2023, around 7:30 p.m. Pennsylvania state police detail in the release.
She "then proceeded to travel around two truck-mounted attenuators with activated arrow boards that were positioned in each of the two westbound lanes of travel," the police say.
She stopped when her minivan hit the rear of a parked, manned high-lift loader at mile marker 186.5. The operator was not hurt, according to the police.
The westbound tunnel is closed for construction, so the westbound lane currently merges into a split eastbound tunnel, but the tunnel is bi-directional and is signed and barricaded to denote the lane shifts.
The tunnel is over a mile long. This is the second serious crash inside the tunnel in 35 days. You can read about the other crash here.
