Troopers Investigate Multi-Vehicle Crash on I-95 Released- Thursday, March 20, 2008 Newark- Troopers responded to the area of I-95 southbound in the area of the Service Plaza in reference to a multi-vehicle crash on today’s date at 10:00 a.m. A 2003 Nissan Pathfinder (operated by Bryan Sousa, 47, of Skillman, NJ) was traveling I-95 southbound in the left center lane. This vehicle lost control for an unconfirmed reason and moved to the right center lane where it struck a 2002 Ford F150 (operated by Kenneth Grier, 49, of Lincoln University, Pennsylvania). The Nissan was deflected back to the left where it struck a metal guardrail and ultimately overturned several times. It came to rest on its roof. As a result of the initial impact, the Ford was pushed to the right lane where it struck the trailer portion of a 1999 Freightliner Tractor Trailer (operated by Amik Singh, 32, of Richmond Hill, New York). The Ford and the Freightliner came to a stop on the right side of the highway. Sousa and his passenger- Tina Ruggiero, 42, also of Skillman, NJ- were transported from the scene to Christiana Hospital for non-life threatening injuries. Sousa advised investigators that the crash resulted from another tractor trailer that struck his vehicle and caused him to lose control. No citations were issued. All parties involved were wearing their seatbelts. The roadway was closed for approximately 30 minutes while this crash was investigated. Motorist then experienced delays for another hour while the scene was cleared. |
