OXON HILL, Md. — A woman is dead after a crash involving a tractor trailer early Thursday morning on Interstate 95. The crash shut down express lanes for several hours overnight and into the morning commute.
Virginia State Police troopers were called to the southbound lanes of I-95 for a report of a crash just after midnight. A tractor trailer and a Honda sedan had collided near Eisenhower Avenue. Troopers say the woman driving the Honda died at the scene. The woman has not been identified. No other injuries were reported.
Express lanes were blocked for several miles beginning in Maryland and extending into Alexandria, Virginia. By 6:30 a.m. Thursday, police said all lanes had reopened, but residual delays remained.
It took several hours overnight to clear the crash scene. Early Thursday, traffic was diverted to local lanes beginning in Maryland.
The investigation into the cause of the crash remains active and ongoing.
