US Transportation Secretary visits site of deadly I-95 collapse in Philadelphia.

US Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg visited the site of the I-95 collapse in Philadelphia and pledged federal support for rebuilding the major North-South highway quickly and safely. The collapse was caused by a tanker truck fire, and the closure of the highway is expected to last for weeks, affecting the supply chain and costs. Design plans for the rebuild and a timeline for completion are expected to be announced on Wednesday.

Identifying Remains and Demolition Begin After I-95 Collapse in Philadelphia.

Officials are working to identify a body recovered from the wreckage of the I-95 collapse in Philadelphia, where crews have started around-the-clock efforts to demolish the crumbled East Coast artery that could take months to rebuild. The highway overpass came crashing down around 6:20 a.m. Sunday, after a truck carrying 8,500 gallons of gasoline crashed and exploded in flames under it, officials said. The National Transportation Safety Board has said it’s beginning its probe and the tanker truck will be an initial focus of the investigation.
