Providence, RI - Vehicle Rollover on I-95 NB at Exit 38B

Providence, RI (June 28, 2025) – In the early hours of June 28, a vehicle rollover crash occurred on Interstate 95 northbound at Exit 38B (RI‑44/State Offices). The incident, reported at approximately 2:30 a.m., blocked the left lane and forced drivers to navigate around the scene.

First responders arrived promptly to secure the area and assess the situation. One of the vehicles involved in the accident was found overturned in the travel lanes, prompting paramedics to treat the occupant at the scene. Although no fatalities have been reported, authorities confirmed at least one person sustained injuries and was transported to a nearby hospital for further treatment.  State police and crash investigators remain on-site, gathering evidence to determine the cause of the rollover.

We hope the injured individual recovers swiftly and completely.

Car Accidents in Rhode Island

Rhode Island experiences hundreds of highway crashes each year, with many involving single-vehicle rollovers like this one. Even one incident is too many when it disrupts lives and endangers drivers. While I‑95 is undergoing major upgrades through Providence—especially around Exit 38—these improvements cannot eliminate all risks on the road. Drivers need to remain vigilant, follow posted speed limits, and allow extra time during ongoing construction zones. Here are some frequently overlooked factors in rollover crashes:

• Speed and Sudden Maneuvers: High speeds combined with sharp steering input can quickly destabilize tall or top-heavy vehicles. Rollovers often happen within seconds, leaving little time to recover.

• Road Surface Conditions: Wet or uneven pavement, potholes, or debris can cause a vehicle to lose traction, veer suddenly, and roll—especially at higher speeds or while navigating curves.

• Vehicle Type and Load: SUVs and vans with a higher center of gravity are more prone to tipping during abrupt turns or swerves. Improperly secured cargo may shift and worsen handling.

• Construction Zone Hazards: Temporary lane changes, uneven surfaces, and unclear signage in construction zones—like those near Exit 38—can surprise even experienced drivers.

• Reduced Night Visibility: Early morning or nighttime rollovers often involve low-light conditions. It’s crucial to slow down and stay alert in poorly lit areas.
