At least three individuals have reportedly been injured in a crash on Interstate 79 in Lancaster Township.

The accident occurred in the northbound lanes at the 91.8 mile marker. As a result, the northbound lanes are closed near Little Creek Road, according to Butler County Emergency Services, who reported the call shortly after 3:30 p.m. Thursday.

According to reports from Butler County Emergency Services dispatch, the crash involved a vehicle “split in half.”

Dispatches just after 4 p.m. indicated two people have been transported to Pittsburgh-area hospitals — one to Allegheny General, the other to UPMC Mercy.

As of 4:22 p.m., traffic was backed up for several miles and an exit near the crash site is closed. Route 19 is also shut down near the crash site.
