Car Flips on Interstate 76, Causes Backups to Vine Street Expressway

A car flipped onto its side in the westbound lanes of Interstate 76 near Girard Avenue early Saturday, causing backups all the way to the Vine Street Expressway.

The driver was removed from the overturned vehicle shortly before 6:30 a.m. and only one lane was getting by the crash, which occurred just before the Girard Avenue exit. 

Police responded initially about 6 a.m.

About a mile of traffic quickly backed up to the entrance ramp from Interstate 676 in Center City.

Traffic was moving again by 7:30 a.m.
