PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – A portion of I-95 North was shut down following a truck fire overnight. Crews closed the area between Allegheny Avenue and the Betsy Ross Bridge to clear debris from the fire.
Cell phone video shows flames engulfing the 18-wheeler just before 2 a.m. Monday.
Expect a slow commute at this time following the earlier truck fire accident on I-95 NB before the Betsy Ross Bridge. All lanes are still CLOSED, but crews are working diligently to reopen the roadway as soon as possible for the morning rush. @CBSPhilly @TotalTrafficPHL pic.twitter.com/PYdwz0H8WK
