Pawtucket, RI – Minor Injury Crash on I-95 North Near Exit Ramp

Pawtucket, RI (July 10, 2025) – Early Tuesday morning, July 8, a box truck collided with a car trying to exit Interstate 95 northbound around 6:19 a.m.

According to the Rhode Island State Police, after the initial impact, both vehicles swerved left and hit the concrete barrier dividing the lanes. The truck ended up resting on the barrier, leaning over into the southbound lanes and partially on top of the car it struck.

Both drivers suffered injuries and were treated at the scene. The crash caused lane restrictions on I-95, reducing traffic to one lane in each direction until around 8:45 a.m., when authorities removed the vehicles. Police continue to investigate the exact cause of the collision.

We wish a full and speedy recovery to those involved in this incident.

Interstate 95 Crashes in Rhode Island

Interstate 95 is a vital route for commuters and travelers in Rhode Island, but it can be the site of many accidents each year. Collisions involving large trucks and passenger vehicles are especially concerning due to the size and weight differences. Many crashes on highways like I-95 result from driver distractions, sudden stops, or misjudged exits.

Truck and car accidents often cause injuries such as whiplash, broken bones, and soft tissue damage. Even minor injuries can require medical care and time off work. Collisions involving trucks pose a higher risk because the larger vehicle’s momentum increases the force of impact.

After an accident, injured parties may face confusing insurance claims and mounting medical bills. Consulting with a personal injury lawyer familiar with Rhode Island traffic laws can help victims understand their rights and seek compensation for medical costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Common causes of truck-related crashes include driver fatigue, speeding, and failure to maintain safe distances. Rhode Island enforces strict regulations for commercial drivers to improve safety, but accidents still happen. Staying alert and cautious near trucks on highways is crucial for all drivers.
