The spokesperson for the turnpike told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review that during the accident, the tour bus flipped on its side.

The collision resulted in a 86-mile stretch of road closing in both directions on the motorway between Breezewood and New Stanton.

The Pennsylvania Turnpike can be seen empty after it was closed in both directions following a major crash early Sunday.

Westbound travelers are advised to use Route 30 west to Interstate 99 north to US Route 22 west to Route 66 south and re-enter the turnpike at the New Stanton exit at exit 75 in.

Whether the weather was a factor in the crash was not clear. Light unknown precipitation and air temperature just below freezing were reported in the National Weather Service forecast for Westmoreland County early Sunday.
