2 tractor trailers crash on I-95, spill produce onto road

ROCKY MOUNT, N.C. (WTVD) -- A pair of tractor trailers crashed on Interstate 95 early Thursday morning.

One of the trucks flipped over, spilling the produce--such as pineapples, cucumbers, asparagus, cantaloupe--it was hauling all along the road.

According to a North Carolina State Highway Patrol trooper at the scene, one of the drivers had to be taken to the hospital.

The crash happened on I-95 northbound near NC-4 at exit 145 around 2 a.m. The interstate remained closed for nearly eight hours until crews were able to clean up the crash and produce spill.
