The crash happened in the westbound between Exit: PA 39 - LINGLESTOWN/ROCKVILLE and Exit: PA 443 - FISHING CREEK at approximately 1:42 p.m., according to PennDOT.

All lanes on US 22 westbound were closed and drivers are asked to look for alternative routes for four hours following the crash, according to PennDOT.

The accident appears to have happened right near the exit to Linglestown Road causing traffic to halt on that roadway as well, according to Daily Voice staff in the area.

The crash supposedly involved motorcycles and a logging truck, as reported by PennLive citing county officials.

At least one person has dead, according to the outlet.

The unidentified victim was supposedly a pallbearer at Coach David 'Dino' Kesler's funeral, according to social media post by funeral attendees, but this has not been confirmed by any officials.

At least two other people are in critical condition, according to abc27.
