I-68 closed for several hours after single vehicle wreck

A tractor trailer carrying medical supplies rolled over on Interstate 68 Wednesday morning blocking traffic for several hours.

Monongalia County Sheriff Perry Palmer said Anthony Mena, of New York, was traveling west on I-68 when he lost control of the vehicle causing it to roll onto its side and block both lanes of traffic near the interchange with Interstate 79 about 7 a.m.

Mena was taken by Mon EMS with non-life threatening injuries and cited for failure to maintain control, Palmer said.

Traffic was blocked for about three hours.

Cool Springs Volunteer Fire Department, Triune-Halleck Volunteer Fire Department, Clinton District Volunteer Fire Department and the Public Service Commission also responded to the crash.
