WILMINGTON, Del. -- Authorities in Delaware say a tractor-trailer carrying 40,000 pounds of unstamped pennies overturned on northbound Interstate 95, spilling its load and jamming traffic. Delaware State Police Master Cpl. Jeffrey Hale said the big rig overturned and caught fire early Thursday at the split for eastbound Interstate 295, but the driver escaped with minor injuries. The crash and cleanup closed northbound I-95 for hours through the morning rush.
