A tractor-trailer crashed into a stopped SUV during an active fire scene on Interstate 81 south in Middlesex Township on Friday. According to New Kingstown Fire Company, units were dispatched at 8:41 p.m. to Interstate 81 south in the area of mile marker 52 for a grass fire. New Kingstown Fire Company Chief Hall and Middlesex Township Chief Beam responded north from Exit 52 at an emergency rate with warning lights and sirens activated. The closest crossover to the dispatched location is around mile marker 54.6 and is a paved surface to allow emergency vehicles to turn around and proceed in the opposite direction. Both chiefs entered the crossover around 8:53 p.m. and were waiting for southbound traffic to stop. This is when a full-size SUV in the left lane stopped.
