BRECKNOCK TOWNSHIP, Pa. (CBS) -- Traffic is back to normal on the Pennsylvania Turnpike near Morgantown, Berks County after a deadly accident.
A Hyundai Sonota overturned going westbound just after 2 a.m. on Thursday.
Drivers of a truck and a mustang stopped to help and three people got out of the Hyundai.
A multi-vehicle, fatal crash with injuries on @PA_Turnpike has required a closure of the road westbound between the Morgantown (298) and Reading (286) exits. Crash involves three injuries and a single fatality. An extended investigation and closure is likely. Expect delays.

Police say the other two people from the Hyndai fled the scene.
