A person has been killed and several others hurt in a crash involving multiple trucks and vehicles along Interstate 95 northbound in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, state police tell NBC10.

The crash happened around 1:15 p.m. Thursday just south of the Street Road exit in Bensalem, Pennsylvania State Police said.

A tractor-trailer hauling garbage plowed through the guardrail in the grassy median and flipped onto its side. The load was spilled as a result.

Another truck and three other passenger vehicles were involved, police said. The engine of another big rig was destroyed and debris was strewn all over the roadway.

State police said one person was killed, but they have not identified them as officials are trying to notify family. Several other people were injured.

The highway has been shut down in the northbound direction since the crash. Police expect it to remain closed for sometime. The southbound lanes are also experiencing delays.
