Rig slides out of control on access ramp

Jeffrey R. Seier, 55, of Northampton, escaped injuries when a rig he was driving slid out of control on the northbound access ramp of the Northeast Extension of the Pennsylvania Turnpike and struck a concrete carrier.

It happened in Parryville Borough limits at 12:25 a.m. Dec. 22 when police said the road had snow and ice on it.

After striking the barrier, the driver attempted to get the rig back onto the roadway. It struck a 2015 Jeep Wrangler that was disabled at the scene due to a previous crash.

The rig then rolled over onto its left side.
