Section of I-95 Collapsed Following Tanker Fire; All Lanes Closed

According to a report from 6abc Philadelphia, sources have advised that human remains have been found in the wreckage following the tanker fire and I-95 collapse.

Just before noon today, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro signed a proclamation of disaster emergency, allowing state officials to quickly draw from federal funds and authorizing all available resources to expedite work and rebuild I-95.
