Lets take it live to matt pelman in the action News Traffic Center. Big problems along the schuylkill expressway. Its a motorcycle crash here in the westbound lanes just past girard avenue as you head toward montgomery. The bike is right here on its side. The good news is weve seen the motorcyclist up walking around. The truck was also involved in the accident. Now theres a fire truck and an ambulance on the scene so two lanes bloc blocked, only one lane gets by coming out of center city on the westbound side of 76, the schuylkill expressway, which as you can imagine does not do good things to the traffic. Were jammed as you come west of University Avenue so coming out of the city this afternoon, i would use the river drives, even lancaster avenue, the westbound side of 76 right there is not where you want to be. Had a crash earlier on 95 in south philadelphia. Northbound side approaching the walt whitman bridge. Thats now all off to the side but speeds are still around 11 Miles Per Hour as you come north of the airport. The platt bridge is busy but would be better or think about using the passyunk avenue drawbridge as another alternate to the girard point. Haddon heights crash on 295 southbound approaching 168 off to the side. Still slow coming down from 73. Patco resumed service, trains not running as frequently as normal but they are running every 20 minutes this afternoon and making all stops.

Mccabe led the bureau after james comey was fired and due to retire this spring. Some Media Outlets say mccabe was told to leave today. President trump has attacked mccabe since it was revealed his wife accepted Campaign Contributions from a Hillary Clinton allied from a fail run. Spreading flu virus has a lot of folks taking extra precautions to protect themselves and that includes many churches. Ali gorman joins us at the big board with more. Hi, ali. Hi, guys. Anywhere you go that has a lot of people coming through, the less you can touch the better. And that includes where you worship. Hand shakes have turned into fist bumps or flashing the peace sign inside many churches. Theres less touching in an effort to reduce the spread of germs. Some catholic churches are also not offering wine and sibow making hand started amore available. Few years ago but due to the high flu activity recently many are bumping up their prevention practices. One pastor at Union Lutheran church outside harrisburg says without universal precautions a house of worship can become a house of germs. The one person in has to shake everyones hand that has to give hugs when they need it has to pick up kids when they need it thats the pastor so right now our lead pastor is on round two of fighting off this flu. Yikes. These are precautions that you should try to take almost everywhere you go because take a look at this. The flu virus can actually survive, it can live on the surface for up to 24 hours and then when people get the flu theyre contagious a day before those symptoms start and then up to a week after theyre sick. So, again, you want to make sure that youre washing your hands throughout the day or use a hand sanitizer. Wipe down common surfaces. Were here at the news room wiping down all of our desks and computers and also you want to get a flu shot. The vaccine is not as effects tiff this year but it can help to prevent severe symptoms and it could help if another strand of the virus starts going around later in the season. Rick and monica. Ive been washing my hands like 10 times a day. I know me too. Still not enough. Thanks ali. If eagles fans still want to shout who let the dogs out. Heres your chance. The Fulton Paper Company got a new shipment of those infamous dog masks fans were sporting at two eagles playoff games. All four of its party supply locations have them if you want to wear one this weekend during a super bowl party. The birds are fivepoint underdogs although that did not hurt them in the last game. Fly eagles fly on the road to victory. I like it. That little dedicated eagles fan is andrew his mom tells action news he fell and broke his arm last week. This is him singing the eagles fight song as he was coming out of being sedated in the hospital. Wonder what he was dreaming about while he was under. Hopefully a super bowl championship i hope.
