The incident happened on the I-81 South ramp to Exit 70: I-83 South/US 322 East - Harrisburg at 7:27 a.m. on July 10, according to PennDOT. 

"The trailer was breeched and water bottles are scattered," Schreffler said, adding that "the driver sustained minor injuries."

The estimated time of reopening was unavailable, as "crews need to gather up all the water bottles, and the [tractor trailer] company needs to bring another [tractor trailer] to gather up the remaining bottles, plus heavy tow will be needed to upright and haul away the damaged trailer," Schreffler stated. 

The ramp fully reopened shortly before 3:30 p.m., she explained in an updated release.
