All lanes of I-95 northbound are back open after a car-carrier truck crashed just past Route 322 in Delaware County Thursday morning.

During the morning rush, all lanes were blocked between Exit 4 for the Commodore Barry Bridge and Exit 5 for Kerlin Street.

Chopper 3 was over the scene and showed the car-carrier truck flipped and spread across multiple lanes. There are multiple other vehicles in the roadway that appeared to be damaged.

No one was seriously hurt in the crash.

Pennsylvania State Police said the carrier truck was hauling three vehicles and that just before 6:30 a.m., the driver was "operating too fast for traffic conditions and failed to stop due to traffic backlog and caused a multi-vehicle collision."

A total of four vehicles were involved, and two pregnant women were taken to a nearby hospital for evaluation.

"There are only minor to moderate injuries to those involved," the state police spokesperson said.

Here's how the backup looked earlier this morning from PennDOT traffic cameras.
