Portion of I-95 southbound near Philadelphia International Airport reopens after woman fatally hit by car
Lanes have reopened after a crash on Interstate 95 on Friday afternoon, which had traffic jammed near the Philadelphia-Delaware county line.
Pennsylvania State Police told CBS News Philadelphia Friday night that a woman pedestrian was struck and killed. According to troopers, the woman tried to run across I-95 when she was struck by a black Chevrolet van in the far left lane.
The southbound side of the I-95 was shut down between the Bartram Avenue exit and Prospect Park.
The Philadelphia Office of Emergency Management announced Friday evening that I-95 southbound was closed between Exit 14 near Bartram Avenue and Exit 9B/9A. Police diverted the traffic near Penrose Avenue.
Officials said traffic is moving slowly so drivers should still expect delays, look for alternative routes and allow extra travel time.
The woman has not yet been identified and it's unknown why she was walking on the highway.
