SUV Tears Hole Into Overturned Truck on I-95, Blocks Lanes

An SUV slammed into an overturned truck on Interstate 95 in Northeast Philadelphia Friday morning. The crash blocked lanes in both directions and caused a traffic mess.

The truck flipped in the northbound lanes near the Cottman Avenue Exit around 10:30 a.m.

The wreck closed I-95 northbound at Cottman. Responding crews also blocked some of the southbound lanes. One lane of traffic slowly moved past the scene.

More than an hour after the crash, travel times ballooned as clean-up continued. Part of the clean-up effort included putting down sand to deal with a fuel spill. 

No word yet on the extent of injuries.

The crash was cleared by early afternoon.
