At least one person is reported dead and several others seriously injured following a crash on I-95 in Philadelphia Saturday night.

The accident happened around 6:30 p.m. on the ramp to Academy Road from southbound I-95. Police shut down the Academy Road exit to investigate the incident, and closed lanes on I-95 created long delays.

The accident occurred when two vehicles traveling the wrong way on the ramp collided with a vehicle headed in the right direction, both cbs3 and 6abc quoted police as saying. Five people were reported in critical condition, including a baby and a teenager. No victims have been identified.
