Rigs involved in turnpike crash

Two tractor trailers were involved in a mishap at 5:55 p.m. July 25 on the Northeast Extension of the Pennsylvania Turnpike but no one was injured, according to state police at the Pocono barracks.

Police said a rig operated by David Benedict, 54, of Clifton Heights, drifted into the left lane when the other rig, driven by Christopher J. Whitney, 40, of Crestview, Florida, was making a pass.

After the contact, the drifting vehicle’s trailer struck a concrete barrier.
