A two-vehicle crash involving a tractor-trailer on southbound Interstate 95 caused traffic delays in Martin County on Tuesday morning.
The wreck occurred at mile marker 93.5 near Hobe Sound around 7:50 a.m.

The driver of the semi, Christopher White, 34, of Eatonton, Ga., was traveling southbound on I-95 in the center lane, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Meanwhile, Melissa Burkhardt McGraw, 28, of Loxahatchee, Fla., was traveling south in a Jeep Cherokee in the inside lane next to the semi.
