Fire Police Assist PD with Traffic at a Stuck Car Carrie

At 2:16 p.m., Station 34 and Station 77 Fire Police were dispatched to assist the Collegeville Police Department with a tractor trailer that became stuck while trying to exit Keyser Miller Ford, blocking all lanes of northbound Second Avenue (Route 29).

Fire Police and police officers diverted all northbound traffic into a single southbound lane to keep vehicles moving around the area. Fire Police used traffic cones to reduce the southbound lanes to one lane for safety and to manage the flow of traffic. Northbound vehicles were redirected back onto their usual roadway at a break in the cement median barrier near the entrance to McDonald’s.

De Wanes Towing responded to help remove the stuck tractor trailer, which was a car carrier. Fire Police and other units stayed on scene for about an hour before clearing the incident and making themselves available for other calls.
