PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- A car traveling north in the fast lane of Route 95 Tuesday lost control, spun around and hit a motorcycle before going over a barrier and rolling over by the Thurbers Avenue ramp, the state police said.

Capt. Kenneth Marandola said the Acura lost control for an unknown reason around 2:50 p.m. The car started spinning around and hit the motorcycle, which was traveling north one lane over, Marandola said.

The Acura then crossed over two more lanes to the Thurbers Avenue ramp, went over the barrier and stopped on the grassy area past the ramp.

Both drivers were taken to the hospital and are expected to recover, Marandola said.

The accident remains under investigation.
