A portion of the Pennsylvania Turnpike is shut down after someone was hit and killed along the highway in Beaver County.

The eastbound lanes of the Turnpike are closed between the New Castle interchange and the Cranberry interchange following the deadly overnight crash.

Pennsylvania State Police said that the crash happened near milepost 14 not far from the Beaver Valley interchange.

A detour provided by PennDOT is redirecting traffic off of the Turnpike at the New Castle interchange, onto I-376 westbound, Rt. 422 eastbound, onto I-79 southbound, and back onto the Turnpike at the Cranberry interchange.

One person was killed when they were hit along the eastbound lanes of the Pennsylvania Turnpike in North Sewickley Township early Friday morning.

Troopers from the Pennsylvania State Police Troop T barracks in Gibsonia are leading the investigation into the deadly crash.

It’s unclear when the eastbound lanes of the Turnpike will reopen.
