All southbound lanes between Exit 36 (Route 262/Fishing Creek) and Exit 35 (Route 177/Lewisberry) are closed. According to investigators, several people called 911 around 1:25 p.m. after a man jumped from the overpass into the southbound lanes. The victim was struck by multiple cars, Hicks said.

Traffic is currently being directed off the highway at the Fishing Creek exit.

The York County Coroner’s office was called to the scene. So far, no word on the man’s identity.

It is unknown when the highway will reopen.
