Updated: Traffic slow on 95 after tractor-trailer crash

Traffic on Route 95 northbound is backed up this morning, with commuters using just one lane, after a tractor-trailer overturned shortly before 7 a.m., before exit 30 in Pawtucket, according to state police Sgt. Ernest Quarry.

After closing all lanes for a short while this morning, the state police opened the high-speed lane to let traffic pass, Quarry said. More than an hour after the accident, northbound traffic was backed up starting before exit 27.

The police do not yet know what caused the accident. The driver was taken to Rhode Island Hospital, Quarry said.

Crews continue to work to remove the truck from the highway, according to the police.
