A tractor-trailer hauling garbage flipped on its side at the Bensalem entrance to Pennsylvania Turnpike this morning and spilled its cargo onto the highway's westbound lanes.

There are no reports of serious injuries in the 6 a.m. crash.

One lane of traffic was squeezing by on the entrance from Route 1. Traffic on the westbound lanes was halted before a time before reopening about 7:15 a.m. after a front end loader moved the spilled garbage out of the way.

Turnpike officials advised motorists to expect delays through the morning rush hour.
