Back-to-Back Route 30 Disruptions in Lancaster County

Consecutive eastbound closures on the corridor highlight heavy traffic impacts near major interchanges.

Overview

  • A pickup towing a trailer caught fire on Route 30 eastbound between Lititz and Oregon pikes Wednesday around 1:08 p.m., and WGAL video showed black smoke.
  • Dispatchers reported no injuries from the fire, and the Manheim Township Fire Department led the response as lanes closed and traffic slowed.
  • The day before, a chain-reaction crash just west of the Route 222 exit involved a Cocalico School District bus, four cars, and a box truck.
  • Manheim Township Fire Department said bus riders were unhurt and the box truck driver went to the hospital after Tuesday's crash.
  • Traffic from Tuesday's crash backed up toward the Route 283 interchange before the eastbound lanes later reopened, according to WGAL.
