All northbound and one southbound on WV Turnpike reopened following early morning tractor trailer crash

West Virginia (WOAY)- All northbound lanes and one southbound lane are open on the Turnpike following an early morning tractor-trailer crash that stopped traffic for several hours.

At around midnight on Thursday, April 17, a tractor-trailer heading north on the Turnpike rolled over at mile marker 66 near Mahan and spilled its cargo of heavy plastic pipe into the southbound lanes.

Two tractor-trailers heading south hit the pipes and also crashed and burst into flames.

The tractor-trailer fire sparked a nearby brush fire.

Local firefighters took several hours to extinguish the flames.

No one was injured in the crashes.

Three vehicles suffered damage.
