PENNSYLVANIA, USA — Update, 3:45 p.m.: West Hempfield Township Police say the crash involved seven vehicles, including two tractor trailers, a transit van, three passenger cars, and a construction vehicle.
According to police, there was construction in the area at the time of the crash, but the work did not interfere with traffic flow.
Police say the transit van came to a stop in the right eastbound lane and was struck from behind by one of the tractor trailers, resulting in a chain-reaction crash involving the other five vehicles.
Two of the drivers involved were taken to a local hospital for treatment of what appear to be minor injuries, police said.
Route 283 East was shut down between Spooky Nook Road and State Road for approximately two hours as a result of the crash, which is still under investigation.

The crash reportedly involves a tractor trailer and five other vehicles, according to Fritzi Schreffler, a spokesperson for PennDOT.
Eastbound lanes are reportedly closed, and there is a shoulder closure on the westbound inner lane that is causing a backlog on the westbound side.
