The call to officials came in at 9:52 a,m, on Sept. 13, according to Schreffler.

The driver suffered minor injuries and was taken to an area hospital, Schreffler explained.

The right lane was closed for emergency vehicles accessing the area. US 22/322 Eastbound remained closed while emergency crews worked to remove the tanker from the Susquehanna River.

The roadway reopened at 1:30 p.m., an hour and a half earlier than Schreffler expected.
