A tractor trailer crashed into a guardrail on the southbound lanes of I-95 Tuesday morning -- spilling fuel and dumping trash across the highway, and blocking the roadway.
The driver of the tractor trailer lost control of the vehicle as it passed Bridge Street heading south on I-95 in the Bridesburg section of Philadelphia around 3:30 a.m., according to officials.
Once the truck slammed into the guardrail, it overturned and took out lanes in both directions on the interstate.
Motorists heading in both directions experienced delays all morning as lanes remained blocked more than five hours after the crash.
Traffic heading southbound was crawling for several miles ahead of the Bridge Street exit on I-95, while motorists traveling north hit some slow spots as crews continued to clear the roadway.
The driver of the tractor trailer suffered minor injuries and was rushed to Hahnemann University Hospital, officials said.
Motorists heading in both directions should expect delays.
PennDOT workers are clearing trash from the northbound lanes -- which also caused some disruptions to the morning commute -- while crews shut down southband lanes for several hours to upright the overturned tractor trailer.
