No injuries were reported as traffic was snarled for several hours Tuesday morning as a tractor trailer truck carrying ice cream jackknifed in the westbound lanes of Interstate 70 near the bottom of Two Mile Hill in Ohio County. Traffic remained stalled into the evening as crews worked to upright the truck and clean up diesel fuel. Motorists were rerouted from the scene, causing tie-ups on U.S. 40 and adjacent detour roads. The Ohio County Sheriff’s Office said the driver was cited for failure to maintain control.
