FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. (WTVD) -- Two crashes on Interstate 95 before sunrise Tuesday caused major traffic headaches for anyone traveling south.

Four people were injured in one crash involving multiple tractor trailers on I-95 north of Fayetteville. All southbound lanes of the interstate were forced to close for a while, but reopened shortly after 6:30 a.m.

Still, backups remained for a while in the area around Godwin-Falcon Road and Wade Stedman Road.

A second crash happened earlier in the morning and involved a charter bus.

It happened in Harnett County south of Dunn. It caused a road closure as well, but the crashed vehicles had been moved off the side of the road by 5:30 a.m.

Nobody on the bus was injured, but the bus driver was ticketed with failure to maintain control of a vehicle.
