An investigation is underway into the death of a trucker after his rig crashed at a construction site on Interstate 70 east at the South Junction to Interstate 79 in South Strabane Township.
Authorities say fifty-nine-year-old Phillip Keesling of Indiana died after his tractor-trailer failed to round a left curve at exit 21 just after one o’clock Friday morning. The truck crashed through a sign, into the construction zone and then slammed into a metal pole before traveling over an overpass sidewalk and overturning. A section of the roadway was closed for several hours. (Photo: WPXI)
