State Police detoured traffic around an accident in the southbound lanes of Interstate 79 early this morning. Troopers say that crash happened near the Zelienople exit shortly after five. The man driving a tractor-trailer told police a dark color SUV cut in front of his rig and he lost control, causing the tractor-trailer to roll over and land in the median. The driver and his passenger, both from Grand Rapids Michigan, were treated at UPMC Cranberry. All southbound traffic was shifted to Route 19 at the Portersville exit causing a jam on that highway for almost two hours.
