Authorities said their late-model Accord was stopped in the right hand lane between mile markers 146 and 147 when it was hit by the tractor-trailer, which was traveling at highway speeds.
The driver of the tractor-trailer, James Myers Jr., 38, was not injured. He was traveling from Pennsylvania at the time.
The wreck blocked both lanes of I-95 for more than two hours as crews worked to clean up the scene.
