PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- All northbound and southbound lanes on Interstate 95 in Port Richmond reopened Sunday after being closed to traffic for nearly seven hours as police investigated a fatal multi-vehicle crash.

I-95 north reopened shortly after 10:30 a.m. and the southbound lanes reopened around 11:15 a.m. once crews finished clearing debris from the road. Drivers in both should expect residual delays.

According to PSP, the crash happened on the northbound lanes of I-95 near Aramingo Avenue around 3:30 a.m. PSP said it's unknown how many vehicles were involved, but the agency confirmed two people were killed in the crash. Another person is in very critical condition.

PennDOT first posted around 3:45 a.m. on X that all lanes between the Betsy Ross Bridge (Exit 26) and the Bridge Street/Harrison Avenue exit were closed.

Police have not released any additional details about what caused the crash or why the highway was closed for so long.

This is a developing story. CBS Philadelphia will provide more details as new updates become available.
