Truck Crash Closes Portion of I-95 in Delaware for Hours

A truck crash shut down a portion of I-95 in Delaware for hours Sunday night into Monday morning.

The crash occurred on I-95 in New Castle County around 8:20 p.m. Sunday. I-95 was currently closed in Wilmington between the I-95/495 southern split and Marsh Road (Exit 9). 

NCCo. Traffic Alert: I-95 through the city of Wilmington is closed in BOTH directions due to a crash. All traffic is being detoured to I-495 at this time and this will be an extended closure. #netde pic.twitter.com/CJF5AbGz21

A photo shared by DelDOT on Twitter showed the cab of the big rig crashed into a wall.

Officials have not yet revealed whether or not anyone was seriously injured or the cause of the crash. 

It took until around 6 a.m. Monday to clear the crash scene and get traffic moving again.

Great news: I-95 is reopening in both directions between Marsh Rd and I-495 after being closed for hours. You can still stick to I-495 as an alternate. @NBCPhiladelphia #firstalerttraffic #detraffic https://t.co/Z1vG362lk3
