Insurance company seeks claims limit in turnpike mess

An insurance company says its liability for a pre-Thanksgiving asphalt spill on the Pennsylvania Turnpike should be limited to $1 million. Hundreds of vehicles were reportedly damaged when a leaking valve on a tanker spread the gooey substance over part of the turnpike in western Pennsylvania. The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reported today that Travelers Indemnity Co. says it has received more than 900 claims from the incident.
