Police report that a Honda Accord collided with a construction crane that was stationary on a closed portion of the I-95 ramp on Sunday. The single-vehicle crash happened at about 4:04 am, according to the Philadelphia Police Department. Initial information indicates a gray 2012 Honda Accord was traveling northbound on Delaware Avenue. The driver attempted to enter the I-95 on-ramp at Lombard Street, which is closed for construction.
In doing so, the driver struck the oversized, stationary construction crane that was parked on the ramp. No one was in the crane at the time of the incident.
