Philadelphia i95 collapse: highway falls onto road below

An elevated section of Interstate 95 has collapsed in Philadelphia, closing the main north-south highway on the East Coast and threatening to upend travel in parts of the densely populated Northeast.

Authorities said the collapse early on Sunday happened after a vehicle caught fire.

The blaze was reported to be under control.

Video from the scene showed a massive concrete slab had fallen from I-95 onto the road below in northeast section of the city.
