People traveling Interstate 95 Monday dealt with major delays. Northbound lanes of the highway were closed for most of the day in Prince George County because of a wreck involving a tractor trailer and several cars.

State Police Sgt. Tom Cunningham said the mess began when a car blew a tire and pulled off into the median. He said motorists in the southbound lane
slowed to look at the disabled vehicle and a tractor trailer hauling sand plowed into several of the vehicles.

That caused a six-vehicle chain reaction, and two vehicles burst into flames. Three people were rescued from their burning vehicles.

Seven people were taken to local hospitals with injuries. One person inside one of the vehicles was killed.
