Container Spill Snarls I-95 North in Madison

0:00Lanes on Interstate 95 North shut down Tuesday night after a shipping container dropped right off a flatbed truck in Madison, Connecticut. State police from Troop F rushed to exit 62 when the truck clipped a bridge edge, sending the container crashing down. Good news, no one got hurt in the mess. Troopers sealed off the highway for a full investigation and called in a record to haul the thing away. The Department of Transportation clocked the crash at 8.02 pm, turning a smooth drive into major gridlock for folks heading north. Drivers face big backups, but officials kept things moving as best they could, with just one lane open by 10.07 pm. No word on charges yet, but it's a reminder how one bump can snarl up the whole interstate. Crews work quick to clear the scene, and by late night traffic started flowing better. That container spills off the road now, so I 95 North should be back to normal. Just watch those bridges next time you're rolling through.
