UPDATE 11 a.m.
Two people were taken to a local hospital with injuries that did not appear life threatening after a crash on I-95’s HOV lanes.
Traffic now gets by in a left lane after both lanes had been blocked for a police, fire and rescue response.
Once the crash is cleared from the roadway, the lanes will be closed, cleared of drivers, and then traffic will be allowed to travel southbound this afternoon, as is normal on weekdays afternoons.
——
The reason the lanes were shut down was to let the wrecker head south in the northbound lanes. That way the wrecker doesn’t get stuck in traffic and delay clearing the interstate so it can be re-opened to traffic.
