This tractortrailer, as you see it here, kind of laying on its sides. It is on the ramp from 95 south, to the blue route north. Anyone who typically heads south from the airport, there is that sharp ramp in the background. That swings you around, and puts you onto 476. Then you head up northbound. So that ramp is closed right now. Here is a closer look of the tractortrailer sent to us by one of our viewers, one of the rescue guys on the scene, the driver of the tractortrailer, taken out, taken to a local hospital. But if you are headed south on 95 this morning, there is no access to the blue route, 476. And thats going to cause big delays through our morning rush hour. So you have a couple of alternates, getting ready to head out the front door, head the southbound, you already know about it, jump off at exit eight, which is ridley. Will eventually get you over to fairview. You can head north. Or most folks going to go pass right pales the closure point, and there is the sign you will look for, right there, 320, or 352. So you want to exit at edgemont, which is exit number six, thats also the exit for Widener University. And youre basically just going to make a uturn, top of the ramp make a left, then another left back onto 95 you will be able to ac vest the ramps from the northbound side. Expect big delays in delaware county, at this interchange through the morning rush hour, even if you are coming northbound, youre going to have all every those folks making the uturn, along with you, to get yourself up into 476. Otherwise were good to go. Double fives on the speedometer readings, on the schuylkill expressway. And we still have that closure of the turnpike connector bridge, mass transit, though, looking good. Karen, thomas, back to you. Thanks, bob. 5 04, we begin with this developing story out of Port Richmond. Attempted kidnapping, one person in custody and the victim managed to escape. But police are hunting for additional suspect. Steve keeley at Police Headquarters this morning with the bizarre series of event, steve . Reporter yes, bizarre crime to get going. Just look at the video. Lets show it to you. The Port Richmond village Shopping Center, almost everybody would know, this is main Shopping Center, and this section every town right off girard avenue exit right off of 95. Lots of stores in there, including huge iga supermarket. Up got wells fargo bank, pep boys, dollar tree, five below, you name it, thats where this 25 year old young mother just got off work at prime time at 8 00. Going to her car in the parking lot when grabbed and forced into her own back seat by two guys who got out of another screenings back seat, detectives were tipped off to be watching. That vehicle, a red Jeep Cherokee, it shows up just as their informant told them it would with at least four people inside because there was a lady driving it, another guy in the front seat. So this they see. This they follow the toyota camry that takes off. Two kidnappers driving the womans car realize theyre being tailed probably by cops, who probably hit their lights, even though in undercover unmarked vehicle, they take off, and then crash. She was targeted, and we believe that the reason she was targeted is because she may be related to or know people that were involved in other serious crimes in the area. And we do have a lot of recordings, and were getting a lot of information from plane clothes officers who witnessed this. And were getting information from the 25 year old female that was actually abducted. But she is okay. Other than having a smashed up camry now, police are now dusting for print, and holding for evidence this young woman not hurt in the kidnapping, not hurt in the crash, and her kids arent hurt either because thats what the kidnappers said to her as they grabbed her. They said, hey, we have your kids. Come along quietly. Dont scream here in the parking lot. So, theyve got this red Jeep Cherokee, too, which found abandoned just few blocks away, 20 minute later. And they have an address on the registration, and theyre sitting on that now youth side of philadelphia to see if the rest of this crew shows up. So, as you heard there, theyre looking for as many as four people right now, who were in on this crew. Guys . Time to get the other people involved off the street there. Steve, thanks. 5 07. Keeping another promise for the american people. By nominating judge neil gorsuch of the United State Supreme Court to be of the United State Supreme Court. Reporter the big announcement that was long anticipated, wu know know it will be neil gorsuch as the nominee, senate democrats, theyre already vowing to fight this nomination. Gorsuch beat out philadelphia based a petal judge hardiman of the third circuit, reportedly named finalist for this position. Judge gorsuch has a reputation as someone who interpret the constitution and the statutes as they were originally written. Lets get over to Lauren Johnson to explain some more. Lauren . Reporter up until now republicans didnt know what to expect from the president who seems to be un predict until his delivery and execution. Law. Last night during the prime time move he had the party breathing a collective sigh of relief. President trump nominated the fast rising conservative judge who is celebrated by his colleagues for his intellect, his experience and his demeanor. At 49 years old, copotentially serve for several decades, with other justices, who are in their late 70s and early 80s, gorsuch is the son of ann gorsuch, first female head of the Environmental Protection agency, which means he spent some significant time in washington dc with mom. Maybe that sparked an interest in politics, to prep school, before columbia, harvard, oxford f confirmed by the senate, gorsuch would fill the seat left vacant by the death of Antoine Scalia, person he respects and admires. The Supreme Courts work not just to region of the country but as a whole, vital to the protection of peoples liberties under law and continuity of our constitution, the greatest charter of human liberty the world has ever known. The towering judges that have served in this particular seat of the Supreme Court including Antoine Scalia and robert jackson, are much in my mind at this moment. Justice scalia was a lion of the law. Agree or disagree with him, all of his colleagues on the bench share his wisdom and his humor. Like them, i miss him. Some republicans are thrilled that this chance to fill one of the High Court Seats to balance out trumps temperament and lack of political experience. If confirmed gorsuch would restore it had with scalia on the ben gorsuch largely unknown on abortion, but very strong on religious freedom. We will be learn a a lot more about him. Immediately criticism about the nomination from critics, the senate as top democrat even suggesting a filibuster to his confirmation. We explicitly put forward a 60 should stay on the Supreme Court. And the reason for that is simple. We thought this is such an important position, that it ought to be bipartisan and main stream in terms of the nominee. And there were protests just moment after that announce they were over there at the Supreme Court rallying to make sure their voices were heard. Right now the court has just eight justices, four are considered progressive, ruth bader ginsberg, steven pryor, three conservative chief justice john robert, lauren thomas, samuel alito, Justin Anthony ken dip, although republicans, is considered a swing vote. By the way you can read more about the life and career of neil gorsuch, what brought him to this historic nomination, we invite you to visit our website fox29. Com.

So right now, the ramps from 95 south to the blue route north closed. There is another picture, from one of the crews out there this morning. But the ram from 95 south to go north on the blue route, closed, and looks like, again, what what did i just say . Produce, frozen pizza, has to get hands off loaded before they can attempt to flip up this tractor trail. So this will impact our morning rush hour, typically a jam to begin with in this area.
