News Crews Report Devastating Damage
According to images from a local news channel, the accident resulted in a red-colored car lying on its passenger side in the northbound lanes of I-95 over Allegheny.

It is unclear what caused the crash or how the events played out. Police were investigating to determine the cause of the incident.
What Causes a Car to Flip to Its Side
One of the questions in this accident that police will need to uncover is determining what caused the car to flip onto its side. Evidence demonstrating a high rate of speed or the impact against another vehicle could be factors. In some situations, cars can trip over a curb, causing the tire to lift off the ground and creating an unsafe condition. Area footage of the incident, if available, may provide critical information. Witness statements may also help in these matters.
