The wreck occurred at approximately 5:30 a.m. on the southbound lanes of I-95, just past the Bristol Exit in Bristol Township.
Troopers determined that a 2021 Honda Civic, which was driven by a 28-year-old man, veered off the highway and struck the center median near the bridge spanning the Neshaminy Creek.
After the crash, the Honda came to a rest and the driver moved from the operator’s seat to the passenger seat, state police said.
