A motorcycle accident on Route 95 south near the Branch Avenue overpass in Providence slows traffic this morning. The motorcycle is on the flatbed truck on the left.

Emergency crews have responded to two morning crashes with what appear to be significant injuries, according to the state police.

One was a car-motorcycle collision on Route 95 south at Charles Street, which is south of the Branch Avenue exit, Lt. Glenn Skalubinski said.

The other was a rollover in Cranston on Route 37 east, above the southbound lane of Route 95. Motorists on Route 95 can see the overturned vehicle, with wheels in the air, and state police in the roadway on Route 37.

Skalubinski said he doesn’t have details about how many vehicles were involved in that accident. Two lanes on Route 37 east were closed around 8:30 a.m. because of the accident, according to the state Department of Transportation.

For other traffic needs, check out the state roadways, via the Department of Transportation's online traffic offerings.
