Emergency crews responded to two major accidents Saturday that were unrelated to the Trump rally at the Butler Farm Show grounds.

Cranberry Township, Adams Township and Zelienople volunteer fire companies, plus Cranberry EMS and the UPMC Passavant Cranberry Advanced Life Support Squad, were called out at 7:50 a.m. to the southbound lane of Interstate 79 at the 79.2 mile marker for a rollover crash with entrapment, according to scanner reports.

A U-Haul truck and a sedan were found on their sides, blocking the entire southbound lane of the interstate.

Minor injuries were reported, and I-79 southbound was closed between Evans City and Route 228 in Cranberry Township for two hours.
