Philadelphia sports teams donate $50K to build trust for daughter of tank driver killed in I-95 collapse

Philadelphia is the City of Brotherly love and is a great example of how wonderful things can happen when you come together. 

In just 12 days, Philadelphia work crews finished reconstructing the collapsed portion of I-95 and reopened the roadway to motorists who depended on the critical roadway. 

Despite the success of the rebuilding, tragedy lingers due to the death of 53-year-old Nathaniel Moody, the tanker truck driver who died in the I-95 off-ramp crash that sparked a fire and the subsequent collapse.

Family members have identified a man they say was driving a tanker truck at the center of the I-95 fire and collapse as a local father.

Family members described Moody as a father and experienced driver with a lot of experience. 

"He wanted to raise his girl to know what a good Dad was, to know what a hardworking Dad was," Issac Moody said. "He didn't drink, he didn't smoke, he damn-sure didn't use any drugs."
