PHILADELPHIA — A New Jersey tanker truck company linked to a fiery crash that destroyed a section of I-95 this week was involved in a similar incident in 2015 — just a few miles away from the site of Sunday’s blaze.
Tanker trucker Nathan Moody is presumed to have lost control of his rig while exiting an off-ramp near the Cottman exit on I-95, triggering a crash that ignited some 8,500 gallons of gasoline and torched a section of highway. Relatives said Moody, a truck owner-operator, worked for TK Transport Inc, a gas-supply company based in Pennsauken, New Jersey.
Eight years ago, another driver working for TK Transport lost control of his tanker truck while coming off a ramp near the Betsy Ross bridge. The truck burst into flames, causing nearly $1 million in damages and shuttering the busy highway ramp.
