I-95 Overpass Collapse in Philadelphia Causes Traffic Chaos.

TL;DR Summary
A tanker truck carrying gasoline caught fire underneath an overpass in northeast Philadelphia, causing part of Interstate 95 to collapse and shutting down traffic. The collapse left officials scrambling for ways to ease the commute on Monday morning and assessing options to make up for the loss of this section of busy highway, which carries about 160,000 vehicles daily. The northbound portion of I-95 had completely collapsed, and the southbound side was not structurally sound, and it would likely take "some number of months" before the highway was repaired.
