TINICUM TOWNSHIP, Pennsylvania (WPVI) -- A 12-year-old girl was killed in a crash on Interstate 95 in Tinicum Township, Delaware County.

The crash happened Saturday just after 11:30 a.m. at Exit 9 near Route 420.

One car flipped over, causing the lane closures, officials say.

The girl was pronounced dead at the scene.
