Karen hepp, bob kelly, and of course sue serio. First day of february. What . Felt little warmer out there today. It is a little better, yes. I remember, went up little bit from yesterday, where we had a five. Now were to up a seven. We will probably see a lot of cloud cover today. Looks like pretty decent one. There you see some clouds around on radar. But for a change, no precipitation, first day this week, now, were not tracking something on radar. But we have a 15mile per hour wind out there. So 44 degrees, feels like 37 and sunrise time is 7 09. Remains to be seen how much sun well actually get today. Here are your windchills, dress for temperatures in the 20s, 30s, it feels like 22 in dover, and 21 mount pocono. And plan on a lot of cloud cover today, high of 48 degrees, yesterday 43, we handled that okay, bob kelly. So 48 will be just great. Get it . I get it. Off to good start. At least in the Weather Department there. Not off to good start here in the traffic department. Good morning, everybody, 4 02. An overturned tractortrailer. This is a live look in Delaware County. It is the ramps from 95 south to the blue route north. This just happened in the last 15 minute or so. Anyone who typically uses this ramp, i go this way sometimes to head home. It is that sharp curve when you are coming off of 95 at this hour, light volume, probably a higher speed. And it is a tough curve to begin with during the daytime hours. Obviously this tractortrailer didnt navigate it too well. Again the southbound ramp from 95 to go north on 476. So if you are getting ready to step out the front door and you go southbound on i95 this morning you are going to have to go to the next interchange down in Delaware County and flip that uturn and come back the opposite way. Wait to go see how serious the injuries are to the tractortrailer driver. I dont believe at this moment there is any other vehicles involved. But again, it is the ramp from 95 south to go north on 476. The vine street expressway still closed in center city. Mass transit, remember, septa, and patco, both kicked in new schedules over the weekend of we had a lot of complaint, and a lot of frustrated passengers, hoping that new schedule would have helped with the late trains. That doesnt seem to have happened over the last kim of days. So be ready for some cold temps out there on the platform. Here we go, finally going to get to this here on 95. Again, the southbound 95. So from the airport headed down toward the blue route, youre not able to go north on 476. You will have to go down to the Commodore Barry bridge, flip the. Turn, come back the other way. Well get more info and come back in the next ten minutes, karen, thomas . We begin with this developing story out of Port Richmond. There was attempted kidnapping. We know one person is in custody. The victim managed to escape. Police say she was grabbed, snatched, shoved into her own car by two men. Frightening ordeal. Thankfully police were tipped off about the entire thing. Now they are hunting for additional suspect. Lets get out, steve keeley at Police Headquarters this morning to break this all down. Steve . Reporter police are at the rounds house say the best kind of tip call about a crime is one not after it happens and who did it but before it happens and who is going to do it. That will was the case here right in prime time last night. Our video shows you emory street, which runs right under i95 in the Port Richmond section between the girard and allegheny exits. What happens is the Police Undercover narcotics agents, that is, with the Philadelphia Police department, get a tip call that a group of people are going to abduct a woman who is working at a strip mall right off aramingo avenue. And it goes down just as everybody tipped them off it was going to go down. And they watch these people pull up in a jeep. They watch this poor woman, 25 years old, get out of work from the store, walk to her car, which is this toyota camry with the dark tinted windows. She gets close to her car, two guys come out of the jeep, force her into the back seat of her own car and they take off. So the cops decide to follow the emory obviously, let the jeep go for that moment, and call for back up. The emory crashes, blows out it front driver side tires, hit a curb, they chase one guy, make arrest, get the girl out of the back seat safely. They figure this is all related to previous crimes with home invasions. Twentyfive year old female victim, once abducted she had just exited her place of employment. And while she was heading to her vehicle, that is when these two males grabbed her and forced her into the back seat of her own vehicle. She was not injured. She was shaken up. She can understand. But she was not injured. When they grabbed this feel mail, they obviously new who she was because they threatened her, saying that they had her children. And so they get the jeep, and guy and a girl in the jeep. I should say a woman, making it sound like it is a little girl, but it is an adult woman and a man, they believe, were in the jeep who to took off as they recover the jeep. More investigate to go do, obviously, couple of people to nab, at least, many as many as four more people, as they sort all of this out. But that 25 year old lady, lucky for two things, one, somebody found out about this crime and told police about it before it happened and they got some good cops here who watched it happen and reacted real swiftly and professionally and got that woman home safely. No kidding. Pace off to come forward, once again, prime example. Steve keel think morning, steve, thanks.

This is a live look, Delaware County, shutting down the ramps from 95 to the blue route. And it sound like it could be with us for the entire rush hour. Ill have all of the details, sue has the forecast when we come right back. Incaviglia were looking at arrayed after where there is some snow even little bit of rain. But none that far is yet making it to our area. And we really dont see any of this making it here. So, we have the first time this work week anyway a dry forecast for today. So little boring, because there is not a lot of action. But we had our share of action the past two days. 44 degrees in pennsylvania, above the high thats normal for this time of year. Fortyone where we should be. So were above that. But you have to factor in the wind. See what it feels like outside t feels like 37. Pretty typical winter morning with the windchills mostly in the positives in a few, like dover delaware, wildwood, mount pocono, of course, in the 20s, feels like 19 in allentown. So occasionally you get little breeze there, like the is a mile per hour winds we have here in the city, and the 13mile per hour winds in mount pocono. But allinall, things looking pretty good. Four is degrees as we said, is the average hi, yesterday, was 43. Day before was 39. So this is a little bit of a warming trends, something to look forward to here. Another thing to look forward to, maybe, there it is, little groundhog coming out every his borough. We always focus on punxsutawney, of course, with the forecast of cloudy skies, and chance of snow showers tomorrow morning, and a 7 30 a. M. Temperature of 20 degrees, if he doesnt see his shadow, that actually is a good thing if you like spring time, and you like an early spring time, does see his shadow, goes back in at highs and six more weeks every winter. Thats the way that goes. Here we see sunshine, punxsutawney maybe not so much. We will be down to 42 tomorrow, and then, much colder air moves in for the weekend. High of 35 on friday, only 34 on saturday, sunday when driving home from your Superbowl Party, maybe little bit after precipitation, bob kelly, rain changing over to snow perhaps overnight.

Now, anyone who typically use this is ramp, it is right here in the background, come off of 95. It is the sharp curve, and then you enter and it begins 476, mcdade boulevard ramp is right here. So get ready for huge delays and detours in Delaware County. South 95, heres what it looks like, you typically would be able to exit nor the blue route here. That ramp is closed. They got all of the flares across. So if you are headed south, two different options. Think ahead of time. Jump off of the exit before, which is exit number eight ridley, that will get you at least into delco, then follow your way back and get back on there in Delaware County. Or the next exit, which is going to see a lot of action, Widener University, that is an easy off, quick left, quick left, basically, uturn, and to get right back on, where folks will have to go all the way down and do the same u tub turn down 322. I get a sense it is a tractortrailer, they have to upright it. It could be with us for the entire morning rush hour. Here is a live look at the vine street expressway.

Southbound lanes of 95 to the northbound blue route, closed, all because of this overturned tractortrailer. Anyone who typically uses this ramp, you know how sharp of a curve it is, especially when youre coming off of 95, even if youre doing the speed limit at 55, it is a sharp curve. You spin around, and right here, the blue route, begins, and there is your exit for mcdade boulevard. Right now all lanes are blocked. I should say the off ramp from 95 is blocked. So if you are headed south from the airport, there is no access to the blue route right now. You can see police had the flares all across the roadway, and then it pushes you into a real thin two lane stretch of i95, heading down toward the Commodore Barry bridge. This will be with us for the rush hour, they have to upright that tractortrailer, it looks like it is a refrigerated tractortrailer, and if it was loaded with product, they typically have to handsoff load the product first, before they can flip over the tractortrailer. So, get ready to head out the front door, if you are head the south, past the airport, think ahead. Jump off at the ridley park interchange. That will get to you west chester pike, and then Fairview Road kind of runs parallel to the blue route. Or you will go down to widener, and flip the uturn. You get off at the Widener University interchange, top of the hill, make left, another left, right back onto 95. This will be a hot mess for the morning rush hour. Downtown we go. Live look, the vine street expressway, still closed, between the schuylkill and broad street. The overnight construction out there, with us, and for the gang coming in from south jersey, no problems at all, we get behind the motorcycle there. As we head north on the freeway, in toward philly. Karen, thomas, back to you. Bob, thank you so much. That is 25 year old woman who is so lucky being able to get away after two men shove her into her own car, and then speed off. Now, police are trying to find the suspect who were involved in this attempted kidnapping. Lets get out to steve keeley over Police Headquarters to explain in this one. Police, steve, do police think that she new these attackers . Reporter they dont know. What they do know is that the attackers, the kidnappers, told her that they had her kids and that turned out to be not true. She is okay. Her kids are okay. This happened in a real prominent spot. Even if you dont live around here, you probably have seen the shopping center. Lets go to the video. It is the Port Richmond village shopping center, has got the iga, supermarket in there, right across from 24 hour planet fitness, right off girard avenue exit of 95, real busy spot. And it happened in prime time. Somebody new something was about to go down and told undercover narcotics detectives just minutes beforehand that this 25 year old woman was about to get off work, and a group of people in a red Jeep Cherokee were going to kidnap her. And not only did they tell them about a red Jeep Cherokee, and at the exact time, they even had the license plate of the Jeep Cherokee, accurate, timely, even a perfect license plate number down to the numbers and letters, and that is what happened. The narcotics detectives were sitting in that parking lot, that Jeep Cherokee showed up, and they watched it all go down. When the police initially got information, they were told that the abductors were going to be in a red Jeep Cherokee. And they had the tag number. When police went to the location, and the 2400 block of aramingo, they saw the red Jeep Cherokee, enter the parking lot, and thats when they ghana quick surveillance. They saw about four, five people in this red cherokee. They saw two males exit the cherokee, and thats when the two males forced the 25 year old female, into her own vehicle. So, they didnt have whole team of cops over there, just couple of detective. They decided to follow her own vehicle, which is this now smashed up toyota camry, that her kidnappers crashed, right under 95 here on emory street, not too far away from the scene, as they tried to get away from the police. Once they new they were being tailed. That jeep, red Jeep Cherokee, by the way, found just 20 minutes, just few blocks later, of course, everybody inside ran out. It is registered outside of philadelphia detectives, now help from outside Police Department in the suburbs, theyre now sitting and watching that address, it is registered to, to see if the rest of the kidnapping crew shows up, comes or goes out that far house. Now, they know there was a woman and a man spotted in the front seat to that. Maybe another guy in the back seat. So that means, there is still at least four people out there. So, karen, that may be why this woman doesnt know who kidnapped her, because they may have got away, and they just had two guys that didnt know her yank her into her own car, and try to kidnap her. What this is all about . She is not some millionaire obviously, she works in retail at the Port Richmond village square. But she may have some knowledge about some home invasions apparently, thats what this crime may be linked to. So they may be solving whole bunch of crimes by solving this one. Lots of Great Police Work there, steve, thank you. Time 4 36. Still developing this morning, President Trump announces his choice for the u. S. Supreme court. Judge neil gorsuch, pick of course sparking mixture of emotions, Lauren Johnson joining us. The president made good on his promise to his party handing them very sole tiff conservative. Announcement from the white house met with mixed reviews as you mentioned, President Trump introduced the nation to a man who could spend decades on the court. Many analysts saying the move could help reunite the republicans, someone divided as of late because of the president s decision, his demeanor, his behavior. Republicans are proud of the denver based judge who many say come from a life of privilege, boasting resume with studies at columbia, a harvard, oxford, despite the credentials, though, democrats are not happy with any pick because Senate Republicans refuse to consider president obamas pick. We are delighted that he is a proven, original is, a jurist, in the mold, of justice scalia. Millions of americans are scared. Theyre scared that their rights will be destroyed. That theyll be rounded up. Gorsuch one of the most qualified people to ever be pick to serve on the Supreme Court. I dare any democrat to make the argument hes not qualified. Awe law this nominee to have a process, to have hearings, and answer questions, and do everything that we normally do. What you have heard, is the republicans stole this seat. So with that kind of attitude, you can anticipate that the democrats are going to put up a fight. Well, if confirmed by the senate, gorsuch would fill the seat left vacant by the death of Antoine Scalia last february, he called scalia a lion of the law. Fortynine, hes the youngest Supreme Court nominee, in a quarter century. His reputation includes his clear writing, defense every religious freedom, skepticism toward law enforcement.

Hot mess wednesday ahead of us here, live look at the overturned tractortrailer, this is on the ramp from 95 south to go north on 476. Anyone who typically leaves the airport, heads south on 95, and picks up the blue route. There is the sharp curve which is sharp. Coming off of 95. Probably full rate of speed. The sharp curve here, now there is tractortrailer, here is a closer look, from one of the crews that were on the scene there. Sent me a picture, the driver of the tractortrailer had fell on the driver side of the truck here. He was taken to a local hospital.
