The northbound lanes of Interstate 95 in Bangor were briefly closed Monday morning after a tractor-trailer jackknifed on the icy road.
The crash happened near the Kenduskeag Stream, between the Union Street and Broadway exits, blocking both northbound lanes, according to Stephen McCausland, spokesman for the Maine Department of Public Safety.

A winter storm on Sunday brought a mix of snow and freezing rain to much of the state, leaving roads with a thin layer of ice in many areas.
