And now, Preston and Steve's news update with Kathy Romano.

All right, it is Monday, the 12th day of June. Good morning, Kathy.

Good morning in the news this morning.

Drivers are bracing for a difficult Monday

morning commute in Philadelphia after an elevated section of I-95 collapsed following a

taker truck fire. Before the sun rose and commuters began seeking alternate routes to their

destination's heavy machinery could be seen hauling away some of the ruins of northbound 95. There

are tons and tons of steel and concrete that need to be removed from the area.

Officials said the very busy stretch of the road will be unstable for at least months.

The fire broke out at 6 a.m. Sunday underneath I-95 near the Cottonwood Avenue exit in the Toconi section of the city.

Fire officials said the flames were under control by Sunday

evening. Governor Josh Shapiro, who said Sunday evening, he planned to issue a disaster declaration

Monday to speed federal funds, said at least one vehicle was still trapped beneath the collapsed

roadway. We're still working to identify any individual or individuals who may have been caught in the

fire and the collapse, Shapiro said.

The tanker truck is thought to have been carrying 8,500 gallons of 87 octane fuel.

It's not yet known if the driver was still in the truck when the fire began.

Police say the truck driver remains unaccounted for.

Sources say he is an experienced driver and that something likely happened as he was coming

off the ramp of the highway.

There is no word yet on his identity.
