Greensburg, PA : Beer Truck Collides with Coal Truck on Route 22 in Salem on Thursday, January 29, 2015

Some people but salt in their beer to improve the taste. But PennDOT crews spent part of the morning salting beer so it wouldn't freeze over on a western Pennsylvania highway.

State police say the beer was spilled when a coal truck driven by 41-year-old Albert Parsley, of Indiana, Pennsylvania, was rear-ended by a tractor-trailer hauling beer about 5:15 a.m. Thursday.

That happened on U.S. Route 22, where the coal truck was stopped at a traffic light at state Route 819 in Salem Township.

The eastbound lanes reopened by 7 a.m. The westbound lanes where the crash occurred reopened about an hour later.

Forbes Road Fire Chief Robert Rosatti tells the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review that the beer truck driver, 61-year-old Roy Crider, of Connellsville, was taken to a hospital for a minor injury.
