No serious injuries were reported.
Dash cam video captured by a motorist traveling in the left lane of northbound I-95 shows how the crash unfolded in the right lane. It appears that a container truck was traveling slowly in the right lane, causing the two trucks traveling behind to brake and try evasive maneuvers to avoid crashing. The dash cam clip shows the truck hauling potatoes rolling over and bursting open on the shoulder of the interstate while the Target truck ahead jackknifed.
