A tanker fire underneath Interstate 95 northbound in Philadelphia has caused part of the highway to collapse. Multiple lanes of the highway were reduced to rubble. I-95 is closed in both north and southbound directions in that area.

The fire broke out just after 6 a.m. Sunday on Cottman Avenue, right underneath the I-95 overpass.
The scene is between Exit 32 for Academy Road and Exit 30 for Cottman Avenue in the Tacony section of the city.
Manholes have been exploding in the area because of the fire. Everyone is being asked to avoid the scene.
I-95 will remain shut down for an extended period of time.
