Ellis and a passenger, Jade Lidely Ellis, 32, were taken to Wilson Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries.
Ellis was charged with driving while impaired, commercial motor vehicle driving while impaired, careless and reckless driving and not wearing a seatbelt.
Northbound lanes of I-95 reopened Sunday afternoon.
