Lanes have reopened after a crash on Interstate 95 Friday afternoon had traffic jammed near the Philadelphia-Delaware county line.

The southbound side of the I-95 was shut down between the Bartram Avenue exit and Prospect Park.

Philadelphia Fire Department officials said one person was hit by a vehicle. The person's condition is unknown at this time.

The Philadelphia Office of Emergency Management announced Friday evening that I-95 southbound was closed between Exit 14 near Bartram Avenue and Exit 9B/9A. Police are diverting traffic near Penrose Avenue.

Officials said traffic is moving slowly so drivers should still expect delays, look for alternative routes and allow extra travel time.
