A FedEx truck slammed into the center median of Interstate 95 in Northeast Philadelphia early Friday, snarling traffic for hours.

The wreck took place along the northbound lanes of the wet roadway between Rhawn and Ashburner streets in the Holmesburg neighborhood around 12:40 a.m.

Video from the scene appeared to show the partially jackknifed tractor-trailer blocking several lanes.

It took crews hours to clean up the mess. Traffic was finally moving again a little before 5 a.m.

The truck driver is expected to be OK.

The cause of the crash wasn't immediately known.
