SHARPSBURG, Pa. (KDKA) -- The southbound lanes of Rt. 28 have reopened after nearly 10 hours of cleanup following a tanker truck crash and diesel fuel spill in Sharpsburg. 

The crash happened around 5:15 p.m. Tuesday near the Etna/Butler exit when a tanker truck rolled over onto its side. Cleanup crews were on scene and the roadway reopened around 3 a.m. Wednesday. 

An estimated 2,200 to 2,500 gallons of diesel fuel spilled during the crash with a large amount of it pouring into the nearby Pine Creek. 

Etna Volunteer Fire Department Chief Greg Porter said crews who first arrived at the scene discovered some fuel on fire on the roadway, but said that thankfully, the truck itself was not on fire. 

Chief Porter said it was going to be a lengthy process to get the remaining fuel out of the truck, get it uprighted, and get the highway cleaned up. 

The Cherry City Volunteer Fire Company said its crews deployed their swift water rescue team and worked with firefighters from Blawnox to try and contain the fuel in the creek to keep it from going into the Allegheny River. 

The truck driver was injured in the crash but is expected to be okay. 

The crash itself is under investigation from Pennsylvania State Police troopers out of the Kittanning barracks. 

Etna pizza shop helps feed first responders

The Etna Fire Department shared on social media that the nearby Rising Crust Pizzeria helped feed first responders who were working at the crash along Rt. 28. 

"These folks went in on an off day and made pizza for the emergency crews on scene of Route 28," the fire department said.

Rising Crust is normally closed on Tuesdays.

"Please keep them in mind when you're considering ordering pizza for your family!" the fire department said.
