Updated/ Tractor-trailer overturns on Route 95, Pawtucket

A tractor-trailer overturned on Route 95 northbound at Exit 30 this morning, spilling some of its contents on the roadway and forcing state police to close two lanes, the police said.

As of about 8:20 a.m., traffic was slowing in the northbound lane near the exit and the tractor-trailer was on its side in the breakdown lane.

It was the second tractor-trailer rollover in the same location, an area known as the S Curve, in two weeks.

No other vehicles were involved in the 7 a.m. crash that caused minor injuries to the driver, the police said.

The state police and Pawtucket Fire Department responded, according to the state police. The state Department of Environmental Management responded to check on the spill, according to the police.
