Interstate 95 turned into a scene of chaos late last night when a truck triggered a catastrophic 18-vehicle collision near Ives Dairy Road. The crash happened just after 11:30 p.m., according to state troopers, and quickly escalated into one of the largest traffic pileups the area has seen in years.
Witnesses described the terrifying chain reaction as cars collided one after another, leaving the highway littered with debris and twisted metal. Emergency responders rushed to the scene, working through the night to rescue trapped motorists and provide medical aid to the injured.
Authorities have confirmed that more than a dozen people were hospitalized, though miraculously, no fatalities have been reported so far. Some victims suffered broken bones, while others were treated for head and neck injuries.
One driver, still shaken, told reporters: “It was like a war zone. I just heard screeching, then crashing, then another crash—it wouldn’t stop.”
The truck driver responsible for sparking the pileup is now under investigation. Officials are looking into whether speeding, distracted driving, or mechanical failure played a role in the disaster.
The southbound lanes of I-95 were shut down for hours, causing massive traffic delays and reroutes across the city. Cleanup crews worked tirelessly through the morning to clear the wreckage.
This incident is a chilling reminder of how one moment of negligence can endanger countless lives on the road.
