A portion of I-79 southbound was closed for a time Tuesday evening due to a crash in Cranberry Township.
The accident happened around 4 p.m. in the southbound lanes near mile marker 82, which is just south of the Evans City exit.
Dispatchers say a car hit the back of a cement truck.
One person was taken to a Pittsburgh hospital for injuries, but the accident led crews to shut down I-79 to help remove the cement truck. With I-79 getting shutdown, that also led to heavy traffic on Route 19.
I-79 reopened around 6:30 p.m.
