Massive Truck Fire Causes I-95 Collapse in Philadelphia

TL;DR Summary
A truck fire under an I-95 on-ramp caused a part of the roadway to collapse, leading to the closure of the highway in both directions in Northeast Philadelphia. The southbound side is "compromised," and the northbound side collapsed before 8 a.m. Runoff from the burning truck is causing explosions underground, and commuters are advised to avoid the area as the highway isn't expected to re-open anytime soon. Concrete and debris from the road could be seen covering the truck, and officials are unsure what kind of truck it might be as they haven't been able to search for a driver. The cause of the fire is unknown, and there have been no reported injuries.
