The fire was so big it had overtaken both northbound and southbound lanes on the highway, witness Lisa Taormino, who was commuting southbound on I-95 about 20 minutes before it collapsed, told ABC News.
The fire broke out around 6 a.m. underneath I-95 near the Cottman Avenue exit in the Tacony section of the city.
As he passed the fire, the road beneath began to "dip," creating a noticeable depression that was visible in video he took of the scene, he said. "It was crazy timing," Fusetti said. "For it to buckle and collapse that quickly, it's pretty remarkable."There is no information on any injuries or occupants involved in the vehicle fire, officials said.
Federal Highway Administrator Shailen Bhatt will travel to Philadelphia on Monday to offer federal support and assistance.
