Most lanes on the Commodore Barry Bridge are closed after two four-car crashes occurred on Thanksgiving, according to a spokesman for the Delaware River Port Authority.

The first two-car accident occurred along Route 322 on the bridge around 6:20 p.m. before both vehicles caught fire, officials said.

The drivers of the cars and a minor who was a passenger were taken to a nearby hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, officials said.

Then a second collision occurred between two cars with a total of six people on the bridge, the Delaware River Port Authority spokesperson told NBC10.

It is unknown at this time how old the people in the vehicles in the second crash were, officials said. Some of the people received medical care.

The Port Authority said all lanes on the bridge were closed for some time, but one westbound lane was reopened.

The remaining lanes on the bridge are expected to reopen as cleanup from the crash continues.

The Delaware River Port Authority is investigating what led to these accidents.
