Emergency officials have reopened all lanes on the westbound side of the Schuylkill Expressway between Gladwyne and Conshohocken after responding to a multi-vehicle accident that occurred around 11 a.m. Monday.

The lanes were closed for a five-mile stretch extending from I-76's Exit 337 to Exit 332, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation. The road remained closed for about two hours.

Arial footage taken by 6ABC.com showed a pick-up truck lying on its side, extending across two lanes of the expressway and positioned in front of a tractor-trailer. Several other vehicles also appeared to have sustained damage.

It was not immediately clear whether anyone suffered any injuries.

PennDOT also reported a lane restriction due to police activity on the eastbound side of the Schuylkill Expressway, just past mile marker 333. That also has reopened.
