FINDLAY TOWNSHIP, Pa. — A tractor-trailer carrying frozen food overturned and caught fire Thursday morning, shutting down eastbound lanes of Interstate 376 (Parkway West) near Pittsburgh International Airport.
According to Pennsylvania State Police, the crash happened when the truck took a ramp too fast, causing it to roll over. Despite the dramatic scene and resulting fire, no injuries were reported, police confirmed to Pittsburgh’s Action News 4.

The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
