Troopers said that around 5 a.m., a tractor-trailer swerved into the median of I-95 North, near mile marker 2 in Robeson County. The truck came back onto the road but crashed over onto its left side.
An oncoming car hit the tractor-trailer and ended up in the median.
The driver of an approaching tractor-trailer spotted the first one on the road and swerved to the left to avoid it, troopers said. The second tractor-trailer ran over the front of the crashed car.
A passenger in the front of the car was killed, troopers said. The victim's identity hasn't been released.
The wreck shut down both northbound lanes of I-95 for about six hours after the wreck.
