The debris flew into the westbound lanes where unsuspecting drivers went over the concrete pieces and ended up with flat tires.
The crash and the disable vehicles resulted in a major backup on the westbound side of the Turnpike.
The damaged tractor trailer remained on the site blocking a lane on the eastbound side.
All lanes reopened in both direction around 7:30 a.m.
Traffic was already affected in the area by an earlier accident in Penndel which resulted in at least one serious injury.
