Heavy rain Monday afternoon caused a tractor-trailer to jackknife on the highway.

According to authorities, the crash happened on I-95 southbound near exit 56 in Cumberland County.

The crash, which the Eastover Fire Department said was weather-related, shut down traffic during rush hour on Monday.

Heavy rainfall caused slick roads in much of central North Carolina during WRAL Weather Alert Day on Monday.
