Philadelphia, PA – An overpass on I-95 in Philadelphia collapsed on Sunday afternoon after a tanker truck caught fire underneath the highway. The incident happened in the Tacony section of the city, with a portion of the highway severely damaged.

The fire started under the overpass when the tanker truck caught fire. The flames quickly spread, causing the overpass to collapse. Thankfully, no injuries have been reported so far.
