Hey man, I'm off to I-95.

You know what they say: "pennies turn into nickels"


Penny spill closes interstate highway

A penny spill from a truck headed to the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia on I-95 has closed a portion of the road in Delaware.

The 2 a.m. crash was in northbound lanes, near the I-295 split. A tractor-trailer carrying pennies to the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia hit the concrete median, overturned and caught fire.

State police in Delaware shut down all lanes of northbound I-95, forcing traffic off the roadway at the Rt. 141/Basin Rd. exit. Traffic is rerouted onto Route 13 north to I-295, and the closure is expected to last until 9 a.m., ABC6 reports.
