A double fatal accident shut down all southbound lanes of Interstate 95 for several hours early Wednesday morning.

The crash happened around 3 a.m. near exit 95 and U.S. Highway 70 Business in Smithfield, not far from the Carolina Premium Outlets.

Witnesses say a Chevrolet Avalanche pickup truck was travelling in the northbound lanes when it crossed the median, turned upside down, and struck a Dodge minivan -- shearing the top off the van.
