Crash blocks traffic by Rhode Island-Connecticut state line
HOPKINTON, R.I. (WJAR) — A crash on I-95 southbound in Hopkinton near the Rhode Island-Connecticut line blocked traffic intermittently for approximately an hour and a half Saturday morning.
According to the Rhode Island State Police, that crash occurred at around 8:30 this morning. Difficulty in removing one of the crashed cars, which had to be removed from a snowbank, led to the traffic blockage.
Two separate cars were towed from the scene; according to the RISP, it is unclear whether they crashed into each other at this point. The investigation into the crash is still ongoing.
This was the second crash along that stretch of I-95 in a ten-hour span, as a one-car incident at 11:15 on Friday night also caused backups.

According to the RISP, the driver of that car, a 26-year-old man, had minor injuries.
