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.
