The driver of a tractor-trailer that overturned, sparking a blaze underneath a major Philadelphia interstate that resulted in the collapse of an overpass, failed to slow down on the exit ramp, federal investigators said.
The National Transportation Safety Board issued its final report in the June 2023 crash at an Interstate 95 exit ramp and “found probable cause” that the driver, who was killed, exited the highway above the posted speed limit and possible fatigue played a role in the incident. There were no other deaths or injuries.
