The crash occurred around 8:45 a.m. near mile marker 6. Despite the severity of the incident, officials said no significant injuries have been reported.

All eastbound lanes of Route 283 remain closed between the Middletown Road exit and the Route 230/Route 341/Toll House Road exit. The left westbound lane was also closed but has since reopened.
