TL;DR Summary

No deaths or injuries were reported, but the tanker truck and any possible occupants were trapped beneath 500 tons of concrete, steel, and rubble. The cause of the fire is under investigation, and officials are urging people to avoid the area and plan alternate routes. The segment of freeway carries roughly 160,000 vehicles a day and is most likely the busiest interstate in Pennsylvania.
