A serious crash on I-95 north in Philadelphia’s Port Richmond section resulted in the deaths of two individuals early Friday morning. The incident occurred at approximately 12:30 a.m. on March 15, 2024, just north of the Betsy Ross Bridge. Authorities received reports of a vehicle colliding with a guardrail, which subsequently caused significant damage to nearby power lines and left the car partially down an embankment.
Emergency responders pronounced both the driver and a passenger dead at the scene. The Pennsylvania State Police have since launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the crash.
As a result of the incident, I-95 north was closed for several hours while officers conducted their inquiries and cleared the area. The highway reopened just after 5:00 a.m., allowing traffic to resume.
Investigators are currently working to determine the cause of the crash, and further details will be released as they become available. Motorists are encouraged to stay informed about traffic updates in the region.
