Where to find road conditions

Motorists in the area can check Pennsylvania 511 for current travel conditions and traffic advisories. The 511 service is useful for planning, but it may not display every short-lived local incident.

Route 895 connects rural communities where hills, curves, heavy vehicles and changing weather can all affect driving. Drivers should stay alert, maintain following distance and allow trucks sufficient room to maneuver. Those are general precautions, not explanations of this particular crash.
