Jackknifed truck closes Richmond' s Rte. 138 ramp

RICHMOND -- The Route 138 east ramp onto Route 95 north should reopen soon after being closed this morning since a tractor-trailer jackknifed about 3:50 a.m., according to state police Capt. James Swanberg

The truck carried clothing and furniture in three pod containers, which apparently dislodged when the truck went off the highway and ended up on its side.

The truck driver was taken to Westerly Hospital for what were believed to be minor injuries.

The driver indicated to the police that he had been cut off, though the police haven't been able to verify that.
