- Multiple people were injured, and first responders used off-road vehicles to access and transport the injured, some of whom were hospitalized.
- Thick fog is believed to have contributed to the crash, which led to the closure of all lanes on I-95 in both directions as of 11 a.m. and remained closed at 4:30 p.m.
