Description of Incident:
Icy road conditions led to a multi vehicle accident on PA State Route 75 in Spruce Hill Township, Juniata County, PA. The last vehicle involved in the accident was a tandem axle lime/fertilizer truck. The truck’s driver swerved to avoid another vehicle causing the truck to roll over. It rolled completely returning to setting on the tires. During the roll the roof became smashed down pinching both doors shut. Personnel using Amkus rescue tools were able to open the driver’s side door to free the only occupant.
