I-95 southbound, just north of Route 896, Newark, Delaware, New Castle County
Resume: In the middle of rush hour this afternoon, a crash occurred on I-95 southbound.
A 2001 Chrysler Sebring (operated by Katherine Knapp, 30, of Elkton, Maryland) was traveling southbound on the interstate in the right lane.
A 2006 Freightliner (operated by Carter Mounet, 37, of Newark, Delaware) was traveling southbound on I-95 in the right most center lane. This vehicle was a tractor only with no trailer.
The Freightliner changed lanes to the right lane and into the Chrysler. This impact caused the Chrysler to travel off of the roadway where it overturned several times. The Freightliner also traveled off of the roadway.
When Troopers arrived on the scene, they found the Chrysler overturned. The driver of this vehicle was trying to get herself out and was determined to do so. Officers on the scene worked to push the car upright so the driver could exit the vehicle.
Mr. Mounet was cited for Unsafe Lane Change.
The right two lanes of I-95 southbound were both shut down for approximately half an hour.

They all drive like idiots on the interstate. If they don't go 10 to 15 miles over they ain't happy. I will do all I can to stay off of the interstate even if it means a longer travel time. No regards for anyone traveling the posted speed limits.
cool story
"Officers on the scene worked to push the car upright so the driver could exit the vehicle."
I always suspected some cops had super human strength :)
