KDVR-TV FOX 31 DENVER Inside Virginia's World-Class Urban Search and Rescue Team PHOTOS: Jeff Lewis was a freshman at George Mason University in 1986 when a moment of helplessness led him to his life's calling. Driving home from class, he was one of the first to stop at the scene of a car accident where he found four seriously injured teenagers. Two boys had been ejected, and two girls remained belted inside the vehicle. "I just stood there frozen, with no idea what to do. Nothing. At that moment, I reexamined my entire life," says Lewis. Another car also stopped, from which a uniformed Boy Scout and his father immediately sprang into action and applied first aid. "Here I was, a college student with no particular direction in life, completely shown up by a 12-year-old," says Lewis. "Then the local fire department arrived, and within minutes they turned chaos into order and got all of the patients to definitive medical care." NORTHERN VIRGINIA MAGAZINE How long will it take to repair Philadelphia's I-95? A look at bridge collapses in US history VIDEO: Commuters in Philadelphia and commercial truckers alike are bracing for what could be months of traffic disruptions due to the destruction of a section of Interstate 95, a critical artery for regional transportation. An elevated section of I-95 collapsed Sunday after a tanker truck carrying 8,500 gallons of gasoline flipped over on an off-ramp and caught fire, igniting a blaze that caused the northbound lanes to collapse and severely damaging the southbound lanes. Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro issued a disaster declaration on Monday to expedite repairs. Meanwhile, alternative routes have made commutes much longer for hundreds of thousands of drivers and will likely raise shipping costs as truckers are forced to take lengthy detours.
