Officers found an SUV facing west on the southbound side of the highway near exit 1 when they arrived at the scene just before 3 a.m.

Witnesses told police that a Chevrolet Suburban was speeding down the highway when the driver lost control, struck a sign and crossed three lanes of traffic before slamming into the guardrail.

The driver and passengers were taken to Portsmouth Regional Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The highway was closed for about an hour while crews worked to clear debris from the road.

The accident is under investigation.
