♠ Posted by channel-top-news in ,,,,,,, at 09:40

A jack-knifed tractor trailer caused quite the backup for drivers traveling northbound on 222 in Spring Township, Berks County, Monday morning.


Officials said no one was injured in the accident, which occurred atop slick and slushy roadways just after 7 a.m.


According to Spring Township Police, fuel leaked from the tanker but was quickly contained.


The road though, which remains blocked off, created havoc for morning commuters.


"It's terrible," said Gloria Glass, of Muhlenberg Township.


"Pretty frustrating trying to get to work," said Aaron Smith, of Sinking Spring.


Smith told 69 News that it took him nearly 45 minutes to travel two miles toward his job in Reading.


"Yeah, it's crazy," he said.


The accident was one of several reported during the morning commute all across the region, as snow and rain moved in overnight.


Officials expect 222 North in Spring Township to remain closed for a couple of hours.
