Westbound PA Turnpike Shut Down Between Downingtown And Morgantown

WEST NANTMEAL, Pa. (CBS) --   The westbound lanes on the PA Turnpike (I-76) in Chester County between Downingtown and Morgantown are shut down due to a fatal tractor-trailer accident.  Officials say the tractor-trailer hit the center divider several times before bursting into flames shortly before 5pm.  The driver was killed in the crash.

Due to the road closure, Turnpike officials have implemented a detour they are advising motorists to follow:

Take State Route 100 North (9 miles) to State Route 23 West (12.5 miles) to State Route 10 North (1 mile). Re-enter the Pennsylvania Turnpike at the Morgantown Interchange (298/old 22).
