Two people were killed and another person was injured after a fiery three-vehicle crash involving a tanker truck on the Pennsylvania Turnpike.

It happened late Saturday morning in the northbound lanes of the Northeast Extension (I-476) in Worcester Twp. between the Mid-County and Lansdale exits.

Police say a vehicle was stopped in the right lane of the multi-lane highway due to a flat tire. Another driver stopped to help and pulled up behind the car with its hazard lights on.

Police say a tanker truck carrying jet fuel was unable to stop in time and slammed into both vehicles, which caused a large fire.
