Two people inside the vehicle were killed and two others were injured.

Those killed in the crash have been identified as 25-year-old Richard Richard Nagbe of Upper Darby, Pa. and 31-year-old Dehkontee Kpou of Philadelphia.

Also along I-95, in Northeast Philadelphia, portions of the highway were closed after a series of fender benders and spinouts overnight.

The highway has since reopened.
