Okay. Is that why you wore green al next. Yes it is earth day. I gave chris some of my old blank checks i just hope they make it to the recycling. Oh bob dont worry about it. Everything under control. Lets get to the number of the day. It is not quite as high as yesterday. We got six out of ten today. We will have a period of sunshine well have seasonable temperatures, but also few showers around, and also a couple of thunderstorms, firing up, later on this afternoon so bus stop buddy has the umbrella with him. And over the next couple of days kids will need to casino of bundle up at the bus stop in the morning. So enjoy today while we have the decent temperatures. Not much rain in the area right now. Little green on this earth day, ultimate Doppler Radar calm winds, 50 degrees, sunrise at 6 14, this morning and plan on some sunshine, middle of the day and early High Temperature around noon, of 67 degrees. Winds will pick up, we get few scattered thunderstorms around, late in the day i would say any time after 3 00 this afternoon bob kelly, keep an eye on the sky. Sue, 6 02 on a wednesday morning. And the big problem is on the roosevelt boulevard. The inner drive closed in both directions in northeast philadelphia. Right at ryan avenue, right by gary barbera there right where ryan and bore beck come together. That inner drive in both directions blocked right now so basically going from six lansdowne to three, on the boulevard, and were going from four lansdowne to three on the ben franklin bridge. This came out last night. Emergency road work, set up, the right lane is blocked coming into philadelphia leave south jersey go, through the toll plaza all nine lanes are going to squeeze into just three now, right now, we are okay, because it is 6 02. But, i bet now about an hour, things are going to get even tighter than they typically are on a morning rush hour back up will occur on the admiral wilson boulevard. Give yourself extra time if you want to stick with the benny in the morning or head for the walt whitman bridge. In the pen re lays begin today 10 00 the first run will lever us with extra volume through the next couple of days it g the schuylkill at university. Going outside to northeast philadelphia steve weve seen nasty accidents. On the boulevard. Rare we get to talk to eyewitness for firsthand account, and they just left after giving police a statement, and it was a class move by them. I told them to stick around, because so many people take off any more. Dont want to be part of anything. But they told us the driver of this hyundai yes, that big ball of metal was a hyundai was going the opposite way you can tell the back ends is pointed against that tree right now who knows how many times this person spun around, but two trees you can see the bark off the one tree thats in front of the car chris, go to the left you see where the headlights are so hit couple of trees at least and nobody has any idea to estimate wise how fast he was going the witness said 80, 90, maybe more. But they said this was a guy trying to cut them off. And had just passed them, and lost control and so they watched this accident happen. And they said it wont be able to sleep. They wouldnt be able to live with themselves if they couldnt tell police he can actually what happened, and how it happened. And so, why it happened who knows what was in this persons head, whether anybody was under the influence of anything. But there is not much left of that hyundai and because it is a fatal accident, and it is sitting in that island area, between both directions thats why the inner lanes are shutdown. The Accident Investigation Team which will recreate this just going to get out here and do this, the Fire Department was here, just in case anything else started to burn in this case. And had just left. But this inner lane area is shutdown. Thats the uhaul place right next to gary barbera. You can see right at the end of it as we pan right see the gary barbera dealership big landmark, bob mentioned here at ryan avenue and the boulevard. Traffic doesnt look so bad so far. What compounds the traffic problem is on the outer lanes everybodys eyeballing this awful accident to get good look at it. So it looks like the inner lanes in the other direction are open, just the inner lanes northbound now, shutdown because thats where this car is closest to, and theyll be shutdown probably, my guess is for most if not all of this rush hour. Alex mike . For sure. Hard time getting it out of there, because take forklift, put it on a truck. Yes, youll put this on flood bed for sure. I know this will sound gruesome when i first got here i didnt know if a person was still in the vehicle or not. Usually theyll put tarp over it in case. So since there is no tarp, that would tell me that they got this person out that far wreckage. Because the passenger door on the other side is ripped wide open. Maybe somebody tried to do all they could to try to save this person. Okay 6 05. Careful out there folks. New this morning crews responded to overnight row home fire in north philadelphia.
