Residents in the northeastern U.S. were told to expect a brutal morning commute on Monday after a tanker truck fire caused an overpass collapse on a main highway.
A section of Interstate 95 was closed in both directions in Philadelphia on Sunday after the tanker trunk carrying gasoline caught fire for reasons that were not yet clear. No deaths or injuries had been reported by late Sunday.
"We're all going to need some extra patience in the coming days," Leslie Richards, chief executive officer of the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority, which operates public transport, said at a Sunday press conference. The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board said the tanker was carrying gasoline and that it had sent a team to investigate.
