(Beaver County Pa.) Two accidents Monday morning have led to restrictions on the Pennsylvania Turnpike in Beaver County this morning.

The first incident, a tractor-trailer accident, happened at mile-marker 18 a little before 5 AM. Beaver County Radio’s Mark Peterson reported at 8:45 AM that traffic was again moving in both directions but was restricted to one lane with the left lane still being closed to repair the jersey barrier. Peterson reported that a semi-truck had struck the center jersey barrier going east bound at the 19 mile marker and pushed the barrier into the west bound lanes.

The second accident occurred  just a few miles away at mile market 14 and was reported around 5:30 a.m. The Pa Turnpike Commission via Twitter reported that all lanes were reopened after that accident shortly after 9 AM.

There is no word on what caused either accident of if there were any injuries. Stay tuned to Beaver County Radio as this is a developing story.

Update 10 AM: According to Pa Turnpike tweet: 

UPDATE: CRASH – #PaTurnpike at mile 18.5 on I-76 East & West. The left lane remains closed westbound. All eastbound lanes are open. Heavy delays remain eastbound. Use Caution. pic.twitter.com/rWMTcLvUwb
