The driver of the striking truck was killed. His name was not immediately released.
His passenger, who was sleeping in the cab, was able to escape but was flown to Lehigh Valley Hospital in Allentown for treatment of serious burns from a fire resulting from the crash, police said.
The driver of the tractor-trailer struck from behind and a passenger in his sleeper were not injured.
I-78 eastbound is expected to remain closed in the area until about noon.
