What our cameras caught as he was going into southwest detectives. Sources tell nbc 10 he is Robert Ritter from blackwood, new jersey. You can see the highspeed chase he led police on for over two hours last night. He drove the white van from oakland, new jersey then into philadelphia throughout the city, back to new jersey where he sped through a crowded mall parking lot and once again into philadelphia. Philly police say he crashed near the airport after he tried to navigate a tight turn. He just looked dazed and confused. Were fortunate no one was injured, the public. The officers did a nice job, the Aviation Unit the Pennsylvania State police from oakland, staying behind the car at a safe distance.

The guy start in oakland, he goes across the walt whitman bridge the sports complex, south philadelphia gets back on 95, he goes 295 a little bit there, goes down on to the black horse pike back up into camden. Takes a tour of camden Gloucester City on to 42 south and down to the deptford mall where he actually drives through the mall parking lot. Pardon me as i crouch. Takes a tour there. Police are still following him. He goes back up 42 back into camden decides then to get on 676. He doesnt have to pay the toll there obviously. He goes into philadelphia, old city drives past the liberty bell, independence mall, goes up frankford avenue to north philly before he somehow gets on to Delaware Avenue back down past sugarhouse casino. Dont know if he tried to stop and play slots or anything. Back down all the way across the river on 95 the schuylkill that is towards the airport where he eventually gets off of 95 there near the airport and thats when police were finally able to do that pit maneuver and stop the van. Im exhausted. Explaining that. Clearly had guy had a full tank of gas when the chase started. The amazing thing is no one was injured in all of that. Great work by police there.

Happening today, a panel will gather to look at a new report that proposes implementing universal prek. This comes on the heels of a new study showing the majority of prek centers fall short of delivering highquality education to children. That study revealed it costs on average close to 12,000 a year to educate a child. State funding for each child falls about 3,000 short of that. You think of a room of ten children, thats a gap of 30,000 that a high Quality Center has to make up some way, often through outside donations in order to provide the quality of care kids need to succeed.

The mayor emphasized keeping pope francis safe is a priority. Im not planning to give every nut case in the universe a significant amount of advanced information from a security standpoint as exactly where and when and how and what route pope francis will be transported. So its a balance. Also yesterday, septa was supposeded to announce when it would put the papal Regional Rail passes back on sale. It postponed the announcement until sometime later this week. Last week youll remember septa and website crashed on the first day, within the first few hours of selling those special passes. One community in bucks county declare a state of emergency to handle the popes visit. Middletown townships police chief recommended that declaration. The townships woodbourne septa station is one of the five train stations during the papal visit. Maybe he knows its going to require more Police Officers but it might be a little bit of an overkill. Im planning on working from home that week just so i dont have to deal with the whole train schedule.
