I-95 Philadelphia: Repairs and Detours Highlight Vulnerability of Highways.
TL;DR
Drivers detoured off I-95 southbound due to last weekend's collapse in Northeast Philadelphia were detoured again due to a crash where a utility pole apparently came down on a car. The closure of State Road forced drivers onto Tacony neighborhood streets. A truck clipped the wires and caused the pole to fall onto the car, but thankfully, no one was hurt. Southbound drivers are suggested to avoid Northeast Philadelphia entirely or use alternate routes.
