The driver, Maria Torres, and passenger Carmen Melendez, both of Bronx, N.Y., were taken to Pitt Memorial Hospital for treatment on non-life-threatening injuries, authorities said.
All northbound lanes of I-95 were closed for 20 minutes, and traffic was reduced to one lane for another hour, causing extensive delats, authorities said.
The accident remains under investigation, but no charges will be filed, authorities said.
