"I felt it drop like a rollercoaster": Driver describes I-95 collapse in Philadelphia
CBSN
The collapse of an elevated portion of Interstate 95 in northern Philadelphia, resulting from a fuel tanker crash and subsequent fire, could mean months of gridlock for commuters. The collapsed section, which accommodates approximately 160,000 vehicles per day, has been closed indefinitely, in both directions, for miles.
Frank Graber, who was returning from the airport when the fire broke out, captured gripping images of the smoke and flames — and described what it was like to drive through them.
"Two cars ahead of me went through the fire, so I just floored it and drove through," he said.
