TL;DR Summary

A section of Interstate 95 in Philadelphia collapsed due to a tanker truck fire, leaving the East Coast’s primary highway with major damage that could take months to repair. No injuries or fatalities have been reported, but it remained unclear whether anyone was caught in the burning commercial tanker truck. Roughly 160,000 vehicles typically commute on the now-collapsed road each day, making it “likely the busiest interstate in our commonwealth,” said Pennsylvania Department of Transportation Secretary Mike Carroll. Officials are scrambling to set up alternate transportation options for Monday morning commuters.
