A tractor trailer truck sits on the bank in front of Watson Chevrolet off of the Westbound lane of Rt. 22 in Murrysville on Monday, July 6, 2015.

All lanes of Route 22 in Murrysville reopened from being closed during the Monday evening rush hour because of a tractor-trailer accident in the area of Manor Road, according to a Westmoreland County 911 dispatcher.

The rig jackknifed, the dispatcher said, and no other vehicles were involved in the accident, which was reported about 4 p.m.

The dispatcher said no injuries were reported.

County hazmat personnel were on the scene because fuel was leaking from the truck's saddle tanks, according to the dispatcher.

Tow trucks were working to remove the vehicle from the embankment about 5:50 p.m.

Emergency services crews had cleared the scene by 7 p.m.
