No injuries in gas-tanker fire in Murrysville
No one was injured when a gas tanker tanker truck caught fire Tuesday morning along William Penn Highway in Murrysville.
Fire crews were called to the 6000 block of Route 22 near Buena Vista Drive around 8:45 a.m., according to a county 911 supervisor, and were cleaning up less than an hour later.
While no roads were closed, the heavy emergency response backed up eastbound traffic on William Penn Highway.
Additional information was not immediately available.
