Horrible
Ping.
May have been sleet. Possibly driving too rapidly for the downslope curve with icy patches. And all the other vehicles were following too closely for the weather and sporadically changing road conditions at the time. Double or triple spacing between each vehicle may have been beneficial.
I HATE driving on the PT- very narrow lanes and speeding trucks/cars.
Besides, driving secondary roads to avoid the turnpike takes you through beautiful countryside.

We must outlaw assault tour busses.
It cost a truck approximately $260 to travel that road its length. It is a money dream for the administrators. You would think they could afford to spend some of that cash on maintaining the highway...especially in winter. Maybe have hundreds of plow trucks, salt trucks, and grit trucks. But no...I guess their retirement benefits are the priority. Pathetic.
Been on that road many times , and not surprise at all. Always thought that was very dangerous and could never really relax.
Some of the truckers and cars often were going too fast on the big curvy down hills.
Even if the salt melts the sleet/ice, the salt itself does not give the same traction as dry pavement.
It was just after dark when the truck started down the hill that leads into Scranton, Pennsylvania...
. Local to me.
The Pennsylvania Turnpike should have been condemned years ago. Charging a toll on that road is an insult.
