Crash near I-95 Philadelphia collapse detour leads to major delays
UPDATE: State Road reopened after 10 a.m. Friday.
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- There is now a detour within the detour around the I-95 collapse in Philadelphia.
Chopper 3 was over the scene as a car went into a pole and brought it down, leading to a closure on State Road at Princeton Avenue - just one block before you re-enter I-95 southbound.
Tough start for I-95 SB commuters in the Northeast... a detour within the detour. A crash involving down wires has State Road closed at Princeton Ave right before the entrance back onto I-95 South. All the traffic is off 95 SB at Cottman onto State Road. @CBSPhiladelphia pic.twitter.com/9geLwK5oXc
