PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- The National Transporation Safety Board released preliminary details of the investigation into the Interstate 95 collapse Thursday. Part of I-95 was reopened with temporary lanes last Friday and the collapse remains under investigation as officials figure out the probable cause. NTSB said the driver of the tanker truck, identified as Nathan Moody, lost control of the tank trailer while on the northbound I-95 off-ramp on Cottman Avenue early Sunday morning on June 11. The tank trailer was transferring about 8,500 gallons of gas from Wilmington, Delaware, to a gas station on Oxford Avenue in Philadelphia when the truck rolled over and caught fire under the northbound lanes on the overpass, according to investigators.
