A wrong-way crash shut down part of I-70 in Westmoreland County early Sunday morning.

The crash happened just after 4 a.m. in Rostraver Township, between I-70 Exit 46B to PA 51 and Exit 49 to Smithston, shutting down the eastbound lanes. The roadway stayed closed for a little over an hour.

The Rostraver Central Fire Department says a vehicle traveling the wrong way hit two tractor-trailers.

One person was taken to a hospital by ambulance.

Tesla keeps cutting jobs and the feds probe Waymo
It was a smorgasbord of news that seemed to touch every sector and theme in transportation, including tariffs on Chinese EVs, an escalating Tesla strike in Sweden, a federal investigation into Waymo, a buzzy EV IPO, executive shuffling at Ford, and an Uber shuttle service developed for commuters in India and Egypt that has been adapted for American concertgoers.
