A tanker fire underneath an Interstate 95 overpass in Philadelphia has caused part of the highway to collapse. The fire broke out just before 6:30 a.m. on Cottman Avenue, right underneath the I-95 overpass. All lanes of the highway are shut down between the Woodhaven and Aramingo exits. There has been no word on any injuries. It’s not yet known what was inside the tanker truck, or why it caught fire. Officials say the extent of the damage means this is a situation that will impact the region for a long time to come. All lanes of I95 closed in both directions between Woodhaven and Aramingo exits due to fire/road collapse. Other streets closed for the response. Avoid area. Plan and seek alternative travel routes. pic.twitter.com/myNyH0nCiq — Philadelphia OEM (@PhilaOEM) June 11, 2023 (YWN World Headquarters – NYC)
