Cleanup crews were on the scene to remove the debris.

"We have a trailer that is broken in three to four different places. We'll have to cut it apart on scene here, but first we have to get it to a safe working place before we can do anything else," Chuck Matthias of Rob's Automotive told WPVI’s Walter Perez.

An investigation is underway to determine what caused the incident. Another car may have been involved, according to WPVI.

State Police had to shut down the highway for nearly two hours and urged drivers to avoid the area, as major delays were reported on the northbound I-95.
