The major highway is closed in both directions in Philadelphia after the tanker trunk carrying gasoline caught fire for reasons that were not yet clear. The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said the tanker was carrying gasoline and that it had sent a team to investigate. "I mean, they're looking to maintain the basic safety of the bridges due to deterioration," he said.
