WARWICK -- A tractor-trailer carrying 43,000 pounds of solar panels rolled over on Monday as the truck tried to navigate a ramp leading onto Route 95, according to state police.
The midmorning rollover, on a ramp that carries traffic from the T.F. Green connector to the southbound lanes of Route 95, forced a prolonged detour, said state police Capt. Jeffrey L'heureux.
During the crash at about 9:55 a.m., contact between the truck and a guard-rail ruptured a fuel tank, L'heureux said.
To cleanup the mess, he said, the solar panels had to be off-loaded from the truck and hauled away.
