Two accidents Friday afternoon slowed traffic to a standstill in the southbound lanes of I-95 from New Rochelle up to Rye.
A jacknifed tractor trailer accident has been cleared between exits 16 and 15, and the southbound shoulder was blocked between the New Rochelle tolls and North Avenue/Cedar Street. The state Thruway Authority said the accident was cleared around 2:45 p.m.
Overflow vehicles from the traffic jam clogged Huguenot Street in downtown New Rochelle.
