(Philadelphia, PA) — Part of I-95 in Philly will likely be closed for months, after a tanker truck caught fire Sunday, leading to the collapse of a portion of the well traveled roadway. The fire started after a truck carrying a petroleum-based product somehow went up in flames. That lead to the partial collapse of the highway above it. No one was hurt in the blaze. Local lawmakers say they are working on plan to fix the roadway, and on a plan to get people around it as the work is done.
