Five people, including two children, were killed and four others were injured in a fiery crash involving multiple vehicles on Interstate 95 Tuesday afternoon. The crash shut down both directions of I-95 for almost 12 hours near Exit 10 in Robeson County- which is just north of the South Carolina border. Pictures from Chopper 11 HD showed there were at least 3 tractor-trailer trucks and 3 smaller vehicles involved. The state Highway Patrol said the driver of a tanker truck failed to slow down for some highway construction around 1 p.m., causing a rear-end chain reaction. Witnesses said it appeared diesel leaked from a fuel tank and it caught fire.
