The crash happened just past 1 a.m. on Sunday, September 17 when a 2009 Honda Civic and a 2019 Nissan Rogue crashed along I-95 southbound near the Bristol exit.

State police said the 20-year-old Philadelphia woman driving the Honda fell asleep and struck the rear of the Nissan, which was driven by a 29-year-old Philadelphia woman.

The Honda spun after the collision and ended up coming to rest in one of the lanes on the highway, state police said.
