A segment of northward I-95 in Philadelphia has fallen after a big hauler truck burst into flames under the thruway, Philadelphia authorities said Sunday morning.

“We had a breakdown of I-95 on the northward side, and the southward side is undermined by weighty fire,” Derek Bowmer, brigade boss for the Philadelphia Local group of fire-fighters, said during a news gathering Sunday morning. “It seemed as though we had a ton of intensity and weighty fire under the underpass.”

Firemen are as yet engaging the blast, Bowmer said.

Blasts around the interstate breakdown were brought about by “spillover of perhaps some fuel or gas lines that might have been undermined by the mishap,” said Bowmer.
