Car Overturns On I-95 in Northeast Philly

Reports say that a car has overturned on a busy stretch of I-95 in the Northeast section of the City of Philadelphia. The crash reportedly happened near Academy Road just before 4 p.m. on Tuesday afternoon (June 24).

Helicopter footage from area TV stations including NBC 10 have shown the car overturned on the highway and quite a few first responders on the scene as the cleanup begins. In fact, we saw at least a dozen firefighters surrounding the car which is sitting on its roof on the highway.

Meanwhile, as you can probably imagine: this crash is causing very serious delays for the afternoon rush hour out of the city.

As of 4 pm, delays are over 45 minutes with only about one lane of traffic getting by intermittently in the area.
