A 3-year-old child and an adult male died Saturday when they were thrown from their sport utility vehicle in an accident on Interstate 95 in Attleboro, State Police said.

A 1997 Ford Explorer carrying six people was traveling north on the highway when it struck a 1996 Chevrolet near Exit 2 at around 5:30 p.m. The Explorer rolled over, ejecting some of the occupants.

In addition to the two fatalities, three adults and a juvenile were transported to local hospital with injuries, State Police said. The driver of the Chevrolet, a 19-year-old woman from Pawtucket, R.I., was not injured. The northbound lanes of I-95 were closed for an hour and a half, State Police said. The accident remained under investigation.
