A crash involving two trucks on the Pennsylvania Turnpike's Northeastern Extension is causing significant delays on the highway Thursday night.

The incident, reported shortly before 5 p.m. at milepost 26.7, about four miles south of the Lansdale Interchange, has caused major backups for southbound traffic. The crash is blocking the left lane inside a construction zone in the area and clearing the area is expected to be ongoing until about 6 p.m.

No injuries were reported, but the trucks spilled diesel.
