"action news" reporter katherine scott live near the scene of that overturned truck in bridesburg. >> first off let's start with karen rogers. good morning. >> good morning, we're looking live here at i-95 at bridge street and you can already see traffic still just at the scene right here. look at this southbound traffic right here. we can see that's that it's jammed as you're at bridge street. an accident involving an overturned truck here on i-95 southbound, flipped over onto the northbound side.

the problem was it was carrying trash, all over the highway and a 75-gallon fuel spill, that's now out there. now, here's what's new. they've just arrived here with the heavy duty tow truck on the scene with this one. they've got to pick up the trash that's all over the highway. we've got only one lane getting by in each direction and they've got to deal with a fuel spill. we've got penndot out there laying down the absorbent trying to deal with the 75-gallon fuel spill out there on the highway, just one lane get, by in each direction. hazmat crews called to the scene as well. we're jammed southbound from past cottman to bridge street, northbound at least the two left lanes blocked. let's go to the maps and show you what you can do. frankford avenue a good alternate for you or you can also use the boulevard, route 1 instead of i-95 southbound and northbound. we've got restrictions with this overturned tractor-trailer that was carrying trash and a fuel spill all over the highway. as if that's not enough, one more overturned truck just in right now. northeast extension southbound

past quakertown. this one blocking the right lane. expect delays here as well but of course the big story is that one on i-95 right now. we'll be following it through the morning, tam. >> that's right, karen. in fact let's go live right now to "action news" reporter katherine scott. she's live on the ground near that scene of that crash in bridesburg. good morning, katherine. >> reporter: good morning, tam. and that driver is at hahnemann university hospital in stable condition. he has various injuries, lacerations but is expected to be okay. meanwhile here on 95 the cleanup is under way and this could take some time. take a look at the median. it's flattened here along this stretch. the tractor-trailer is on its side. it landed on the median and spilled over into the northbound lanes so there is lane closures here on both sides of the highway. traffic is getting by, one lane on either side but you can see it's getting by slowly and as it gets later it could be a mess. 75 gallons of fuel from the gas tank spilled and so crews are now applying absorbents. this all happened just before 3:30 this morning on 95 near

the bridge street exit in bridesburg. police say the tractor-trailer driver was in the left lane, lost control and veered into the median and actually hit a sign that said no trucks in the left lane. that sign hit a minivan traveling in the northbound lanes but the driver of the minivan is okay and there's just minor damage to that vehicle. as for the tractor-trailer, though, it landed on its side on top of the median. the fuel tank ruptured. hazmat crews were called to the scene. the tractor-trailer was carrying trash and now trash is all over the highway as well as the fuel and pieces of the tractor-trailer. because it is early and there aren't that many cars on the road we're not seeing some that big of a backup yet but traffic has to slow as it gets by on one lane in the northbound lane, one lane in the southbound lanes so it could get bad as it gets later there is a bit of a cleanup left to do. as to what caused this accident, it's still early on in the investigation but investigators tell me that because it was a slow veer, because of the way that the

damage presents itself on the roadway, it looks like that the driver may have fallen asleep or had a medical condition but again, he remains at hahnemann university hospital and this investigation is under way as is the cleanup. we're live along 95, katherine scott, channel6 "action news". >> ♪ >> and developing overnight the u.s. has launched its first airstrikes against isis in syria, a country already decimated by civil war. new video shows an attack in the northern province. the u.s. and five arab nations are taking that's right a coordinated offensive. other airstrikes targeted a military air base. until now the american attacks on isis have centered on iraq, now they've moved to 0y the islamic terror group beheaded two americans as well as a british aide worker. president obama may address the isis threat later today. >> detectives are hunting right now for the person who opened fire along a crowded philadelphia street in broad daylight. one bullet struck and killed a 15-year-old girl. it happened as a fight broke
