The remains of at least one person were found in the wreckage of a highway overpass collapse in Pennsylvania Monday, reports said. Though the identity of the remains is still unknown, 6ABC News in Philadelphia confirmed that the driver of a tanker truck carrying petroleum products that crashed and caught fire at the scene remains unaccounted for. Family members identified the driver to Fox 29 as Nathaniel Moody, and said he was an experienced driver with more than a decade behind the wheel. Authorities said the crash happened when the tanker lost control on an off-ramp curve and overturned. The Interstate 95 overpass collapsed shortly after the crash, and will likely be closed for “months,” according to Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro.
