A multi-vehicle crash and hazmat incident has shut down I-95 in New Castle County, Delaware.
The crash occurred around 5:30 a.m. Tuesday on the northbound lanes of the highway near Airport Road in Newport.
"Due to a crash involving HAZMAT on I-95 northbound near the SR 141/Airport Road exit, 95 northbound and southbound are closed as well as SR 141 over I-95. Traffic is being diverted to alternate routes and signal adjustments have been made. We expect this to be an extended closure," DelDOT said. Sky 6 showed traffic jammed on I-95 at Route 1 near the Christiana Mall in Newark.
The crash involved a tractor-trailer and a number of other vehicles.
One of the vehicles was carrying 1,500 pounds of organic peroxide which spilled onto I-95.
Drivers are exiting off Route 273 to detour onto Route 13.
