Now theres another one to tell you about. Nbc 10s first alert traffic reporter katy zachry has an update on what is happening on 95. 95 near girard is where both crashes are happening in the northbound and southbound lanes. This is the view of 95 northbound where you can see cars really stacking up as they approach the crash around 95 at girard northbound. That involves three cars. Now if you look over the median 95 southbound youll see a twocar crash. So what im seeing from my cameras is the southbound side. The crash looks to be clearing a little faster than the northbound crash, but you wouldnt think that looking at the drive times. Thats because southbound we see so much more volume at this time. So its taking you more than a half hour to go between woodhaven and the vine. Northbound youre seeing a significant delay of 23 minutes to go to that same stretch. Ill keep my eye on that.

There are probably several different components to this. Police suspect the thieves are selling the air bags on the black market for pop shops or shady auto dealers.

You have to remember to change the passwords. Make it something pretty difficult to hack. Right. Changes are coming at rutgers.
