Hollywood loses another legend. Come with me and youll be in a world of Pure Imagination a look back at the iconic rolls of actor gene wilder and how he is being remembered across the world. So sad yesterday. One of my favorites and all of our favorites. Lets do Something Different because im bored. It is august 30th, tuesday. What do you want to to differently. Im bored. Lets get something done in the next three hours. I got a tweet this morning about 20 minutes ago from a woman by the name of lisa. She was at brigantine down at lagoon drive at the end of lagoon drive on the drive on beach. Oh, okay. She found somebodys wedding ring. There is the ring. It is jb plus fr and the date of wedding is 10 18 13. So they have been married three years almost. It looks like a mans band. That looks like a man band. So we found it. Whose is it . So, jb, fr, if you are watching, i dont know what you do i get tweet me. How would they prove it your ring since you date wedding. Well, that is stupid. So, i dont know. It is one other little thing inside the circle there. Oh, there is. Okay. Still need id to have their initials match. What are the odds of a jb and fr coming together to fraud us. They need to show proof of id. We will need id. Tweet me is what my address. Mike at fox 29. What shore. Brigantine. Okay. Lets take a look at the weather because it is a great shore day to day. Sure is. A lot of toll accounts on vacation, last week before labor day, nine out of ten. Great day to be pool side as well. Temperatures in the 60s and 70s. Off to a pleasant start. Look at how beautiful it is. It happened half an hour ago. 71 degrees. 63 percent relative humidity. Not too bad. In rain showing up in our area on radar. It could be daze number five, if we make it to 90 degrees but it will be a close call with that one. Still low humidity and pretty nice, warm day. That is your planner for tuesday from the weather authority. Lets get to the road because we have as bob would say a jammo, this is a schuylkill expressway right there at city avenue, and the stop and go, stop and go there. I95 in Delaware County approaching the airport plenty of sun glare this morning but it looks like folks are moving okay. We have an accident in camden to tell but at camden at newton avenue, the intersection remains closed due to the crash overnight. We will get the cross street for that one for you. In just a few more minutes. One more accident between cherry road and east cherry lane right there at wawa there that could slow you down in the suburbs, mike and alex, this morning. Why dont we take to you that scene. Haddon. Driver veered out of control in camden. Yeah, look at that. Hey, dave. Is it all cleaned up . It is getting there, yes. It is cleaned up here. Crews work are here they have put the salt down, really to deal with the gasoline perhaps that it spilled from this crash. Take a look at this house right here. Porch completely decimated by the impact. Two of the vehicles also damaged here mercedes in the red, cherry red with back end damage and silver vehicle front end damage there someone inspecting their vehicle will. The it appears. We want to go to video of the scene. You wont believe when you take a look at this red vehicle in the center of the crash. Driver were told had to be extricated from the vehicle and rushed over to the hospital. You can see the engine block still actually separated from that vehicle, by the impact, it was so powerful. This all happened, inside the 2 00 a. M. Hour we believe and as we come back out here live i want to show you Cooper University hospital to give you an idea how close this is from where we are at haddon avenue knew and new ton where the crash happened. It is less than a half a miley would think, less than that, were seeing the hospital to get the victim over to the hospital for treatment again, as we understand, taken there in critical condition, very critical condition, we are hoping to get an update here but crews are cleaning up here with damage to be dealt with, back to you mike and alex. Quick update now on that breaking news we had an hour ago out of northeast philadelphia, one person in the hospital after a fire, at this apartment complex, it happened just after 5 30 this morning. It was under control quickly in about 20 minutes. We do not know the condition of that person that was taken to the hospital. We will bring you more information when it becomes available to us. Now to a wild scene, in south philadelphia. A deadly shooting in south jersey. Im sorry. Where evidence was spread across two major highways and wawa. They were driving down the highway shooting at each other. 3 30 yesterday afternoon. Steve, give us an update on this. Latest, it is spread over two states because the seventh player involved found in philadelphia when he turned up suddenly late last night at the hospital of the university of pennsylvania with the bullet wound and police figured out from him offer just through the evidence that he was involved in this shootout and likely was in the third car that police were looking for based on the witness testimony. Heres the big question for all viewers who travel these roads especially late in the summer like Labor Day Weekend when they will be packed a week from when this happened next monday. This was not a road rage shooting. Could that have have been me and my kids as we ares packed up going to or from the shore when some crazy person starts shooting at somebody. No, this was not a random act of violence, these people were involved in elicit activity and they all knew each other and that is why they are all shooting out each other. People are still in the hospital. We are looking for others who may be connected. The we are looking at and public knows this as far as we can tell right now not just a random act. We dont have details we believe at this point that the people involved in this shooting, knew each other and that this was not a random act. We dont have a mass shooter on the lose, who was targeting people at random. I think it is scary. I live literally five minutes from here. Just to hear about it, it is crazy. A little different from what we have been seeing so sadly this summer. The these guys didnt hit any innocent bystanders or any other cars. They were shooting real close, almost side by side as they drove probably 90 miles an hour at each other or away from each other and you can tell, it doesnt look like bullets missed their target, all about taking out the windows, the mirrors and the wheel. So the victim, the kill guy 23 years old from pleasantville no identities on these people yet but chances are police know who they are, know what they were involved in and know where they were from and most importantly know their history and likely all seven have not, well, most of them maybe all of them have a history with Police Arrest and violence. I cant wait to get to the bottom of this. Yes. Can you imagine on that highway while that was going on. Your kid are with you. Yes. 7 09. Let call it 7 09. South philadelphia where a 13 yearold boy playing with the gun land himself in the hospital along with the 12 yearold girl. Both were shot when gun accidentally fired. This happened inside home on eden terrace just before 9 00. Police say one bullet hit both children. Luckily their injuries are not life threatening. Both children remain hospitalized in stable condition, officers say they are still investigating how the teen got their hand on the gun and who it belong to. Reward has been up to 76,000 for information leading to the person who killed 18 yearold gabby cart inner camden. Gabby got the caught in the gang credits fire someone shot her in the head and she rode her bike the at eighth and spruce street in camden. If you know anything give police a call. Fox 29 has learn that the funeral will take place this sat the day at the faith Holy Temple Church of god and christ in camden. 7 09. The Historic Church in overbrook goes up in flames. About 9 30 yesterday morning on our show, good day philadelphia. You were reporting it. Yes. We switched to sky fox. Sky fox was over this church. It was already at three alarms went to four by 10 00 oclock yesterday morning. The chris, there about five different congregation that is share this church. This church just mark its 100 anniversary. What a sad scene this was, right . Now it has been reduced to just, well, a burned out shell. Flames raging through this Good Shepherd Presbyterian Church on lansdowne avenue that started yesterday morning around 9 00 as mike and alex were live on good day. It grew to four alarms. It took 120 Fire Fighters much of the day to put this out. Luckily no one was hurt but there was a close call did you hear about this a Church Member was trapped on the third floor. I was in the shower and the power went out and the water got real hot so i got out, opened up the door, and i could not see down the hall way at all. I felt my way down and somehow ended up in the middle room and ended up finding that window there which was really hard to breathe and climbed down on the roof, yelled down and guys came up and got me. I mean he is staying calm telling the report ber what happened . Can you imagine. Crews managed to rescue a cat there that burning building. Investigators say fire started in the basement but at this time they dont know what caused it. We will have a live report from the church coming up in an hour from now. We will speak with the pastor about the damage and impact that this is left, for those parishioners mike and alex. Chris, thank you. That followed by this. The details of the lurid sexting scandal has become latest fodder on the president ial campaign trail. Just as new polls show Hillary Clinton is maintaining a single digit lead overdone old trump with just ten weeks to go before election day. Doug luzader what does Anthony Weiner have to do with the president ial cam pain. Reporter you know, tabloids have been going craze bye this. Anthony weiner is married to huma abedin who is becoming a household name even though she plays behind the scenes for the most part but she ace very important figure for Hillary Clintons race for the white house. Hillary clinton not answering questions as she left a fundraiser in the hamptons without her closest aid huma abedin in toe. The cover of the New York Post shows abedins husband former congressman Anthony Weiner again caught exchanging lewd texts and pictures with another woman and one picture also showed him with his young son. Abedin said she was separating from weiner. I think she did the right thing after a while. I mean how much can you take. I was supplieded she didnt leave him earlier. Reporter abedin is set to be a high Ranking Administration Official should clinton win the white house. Shes also a central figure in clintons ongoing email controversy and donald trump could not resist weighing in. I know Anthony Weiner well and she will be far better off without him he said in a statement calling into question clintons question. Trump made his shirts in bangladesh. Reporter clinton way new ad aimed squarely at one of trumps perceived strength his business accu men. Seriously fun raising with the new Monmouth University poll showing clintons post convention bounce evaporated but still maintaining a sevenpoint lead. There is a theory about president ial campaigns that once you get into this part of the summer, the dynamic is pretty well set and only a spectacular collapse or fabulous performance in the debate or big october surprise can really change dynamic. Reporter that is why there will be attention paid to these debate. First one less than a month away. You look at these polls consistency with clinton up six, seven, eight points, something in that range. Pole pol after poll is showing that. That is a tough thing for trum top turnaround with a short time frame we are looking at here. That is for sure. We will see you you again. 7 14. Gene wilder has died. He was 83. He passed away at his home in stanford connecticut from complications of alzheimers disease. He may be best known for his role in willie wonka and Chocolate Factory but his legacy goes much farther than that. So lauren has more on his career because it is a long one. It is, alex. List of classics is long, producers, young frank stein, wilder started off on broadway and landed in 1967 bonnie and clyde. His big screen debut but his chance meeting with mel brooks turned him into a leading man. He appeared in producers. Wilder earned a oscar nomination and name for himself in hollywood.

Young frankenstein. Who was the woman, mad license kahn. Terry garr as well. Yeah. So such and cloris leachman. Tropical storm number eight, it will when it reaches 39 miles an hour wind. It is not there but bringing rain to the outer banks of the North Carolina and will effect our rip currents as will this storm tropical depression number nine, again not a name yet until it reaches 39 miles an hour wind. We are at 35 right now. This one is, just west of cuba, and it is on track to cross over florida, head into the atlantic ocean, parallel the coast of North Carolina, not going to give us precipitation but again rough surf at the shore. We will have to be careful this week if you you are on vacation and if you are going away to the jersey shore or delaware beaches throughout the weekend because we have risks of strong rip currents so watch out when you swim in the ocean for that. Thanks to our very active tropics. No rain showing up on ultimate Doppler Radar and next chance of rain is wednesday night into thursday with the cold front. We will get cloud late in the day on wednesday, some rain, ahead of the cold front probably thursday morning and then more maybe some thunderstorms popping up by thursday afternoon but the change after that happened on thursday, will be quite welcomed. This is a great weekend forecast, just about ideal for a Holiday Weekend because it is low 80s, to mid 80s, all the way through labor day with dry weather and sunshine every single day. So that is a look at your seven day forecast, proud to present that one for you. Take a look at traffic this morning, typically slow on route 422 eastbound at trooper road, we check i95 in Delaware County heading toward the airport, on the righthand side of the road, hard to see because of all that sun glare so you can see what the drivers are experiencing there, back to the accident we have been reporting all morning, haddon avenue knew at newton that intersection is still closed, due to the crash and the investigation from overnight.
