Accident approaching route 202, the guys were in the left lane just kind of everyone gotten over to the side here. Police arent even out here yet. Again, it is westbound, approaching king of prussia. So we start to see some delays pop there. In new jersey, 295, southbound, watch for an accident right near route 30. Which is the white horse pike. Thats going to slow folks down coming in from cherry hill. Hello to fishtown. Ninetyfive on the right. School buses headed southbound. And there is the northbound new stretch of roadway that everybodys using. And the onramp from girard avenue to head north is now open. And some volume here on the freeway, headlight headed in towards philadelphia. Looking good at the airport. And mass transit, running with though delays. Mike and alex back over to you. Im afraid we have to start the same way we do a lot of days. Fatal stabbing in the west oaklane section of the city overnight. A 43 year old plan was found lying in the front steps of a home on the 6400 block of west 65th avenue. Police say the steak knife was still lodged in the victims back. Police are questioning witnesses who were in the area at the time. But right now, they dont have a suspect or a motive in the crime. Coming up on 6 04, popular Recreation Center in south philly, is suddenly shutdown. Yes, all the sudden city Officials Say the century old building may not be safe. So, steve keeley is at the vare Recreation Center more on whats going on there, steve . Well, look how big this place is, just to start, youre looking athen tire city block, and thats not counting all of the ball fields, and the playgrounds, out back, to take up few acres. Huge both physically, responsibly, for this south philly neighborhood, a Gathering Spot for generations for both kids, and adults, who also have programs here. And a sudden shutdown friday after an outside Structural Engineering company hired by the citys Rec Department said it is showing it age with severe, severe problems, that have compromised the big buildings integrity. It is actually good place for kids to go and have fun, they even help with you your homework. It has been a lot of good things in that community center. So, it is, you know, unfortunate, that this has happened. We just dont have an unlimited amount of revenue that we can allocate toward, you know, toward thing like this, toward needs like this, and, unfortunately, over time, that adds up, and situations like this happen. Well, all of those outside ball fields and playgrounds are going to stay open, alex, mike, the sitly try to relocate all of the inside programs to other parks and rec centers, still, not known yet, though, which ones and how far away mom and dad will have to take the kids or even if theyre able to take the kids, and, if not, how will the kids get there . A lot of still unanswered questions. At love them. All right, steve, thank you for. That will look up there. Whats that on the roof . It is a plane. No, it is a principal, principal long. Principal long . Bucks county principal woke up this morning not in his bed. No, look at him, from overnight. Thats his view yesterday afternoon, when he went up to the roof of the school. He slept there. Hes still there. Why . So Lauren Johnson is at Newtown Middle School. Why is he on the roof, lauren . There he is, still up there. Heres the short answer, guys, it is hurricane harvey, out in texas, the longer answer is think kindness. Campaign by the Council Rock School district here where Newtown Middle School is, to think outside the box. And do something kind for other people. Well, this kindness stretching all the way to texas, and it is not over yet. So you guys have signed, sealed, delivered 8,000 check. Thats what sent you up there . Thats correct. 8,000 went to the pto at wolf elementary school. For them to use as they seed their needs are at this current time. Because the needs are always changing. And principal long, youre not done yet. You say you want the help to continue. No, no, were not done at all. This is all year process. So our next step would be to, again, following the direction out with our connection with pto and Jasmin Russell the teacher down at wolf elementary, coats, gifts around the holidays, possibly turkeys around thanksgiving, meals, so it is all open right now, but it is an ongoing process, yes. This is a lesson your student wont never be able to learn in a book. What do you think the lifeless on is that theyve take ann way from this . Again, i think small acts, doesnt have to be big act every kindness can change a persons life for that one moment. So if you get an opportunity to do something kind for somebody, take it. Last night you decided im going to have some barbeque for texas, cheese steak for philly. You went to bed around 10 30, it is chilly outside. How was your night . Great night. Good night. Hey, listen, colds night are better night sleeping for me. At least not raining, right . Not raining. Im not the mailman, i wouldnt deliver in the rain, i would have postponed but it was a god night to sleep, thank you. What time will the kids start coming to school . Kids arrive around 73 the principal said ill stay there until the last bus pulls around 8 00. So well be here. So hes been up there a long time. Does he have a heater up there . 2 30 p. M. Yesterday. Does very a heater . No heater, hes braving the colds. Im doing the running man. Hes like there is ive seen him jump up and down trying to stay warm. I love it. Thats great. It is a good one. Kids love tan were helping meme down in texas, as well. It is wonderful. 6 08. The sixers began new season tonight. Who is ready . Im red. I yes, many fans are hoping that this is it. They hope that this is the beginning after new era of sixers basketball. Is the process finally over . Is it the time is now . Where is ben simmons, markelle fultz, both will make their nba debut tonight. Of course, joel embiid will be on the floor, in a regular season game for the First Time Since january. Although he will have limited minute. Hes been very vocal about how he feels about that. He didnt like it. By the way, our free agent, jj reddick, hes ready to go, reddick is ready. And contributing players, like dario czar i can, and Robert Covington, had cover story yesterday in the paper, and sixers fans have plenty to be hopeful for. The sixers play the wizards in d. C. Tonight at 7 00. And then, on friday, we have our home opener against the Boston Celtics. But if you are watchig last night, my gosh, see the calves play the celtics . What a start for boston. This injury oh, gosh so hard to see. The gordon hayward, he broke his ankle, and just in a horrible way. And a lot of people were just so upset by it, because hes one of their stars, he just got to boston. Thats right. And then to have this happen, in like the first five minutes of the game. Thats right. I dont know that the bone came through the skin. But people were shocked, players were had their head in their hands. Because it was the way his foot was turned, it was just not, not right. So the players reaction, i mean, cleveland did win the game, 102 to 99. What their new, the new kyree . Kyree had the last second shot and he miss t the game was played in cleveland, matter of fact. So you know he wanted to proof cleveland wrong, put it in their face then he missed. They booed him relentlessly. So anyway, Boston Celtics in for our home opener without one of their big stars now. Nfl players, owners, executives, meeting in new york city, talking over an issue that has people on both sides of course boiling mad. What Malcolm Jenkins, our philadelphia eagle, had to say about the first meeting, regarding anthem protests. After 8 years of chris christie, is kim guadagno the change new jersey really needs . Guadagno is christies handpicked successor. Says shes proud to be part of the christie administration. Guadagno was Chris Christies right hand as our schools came under attack, Critical Services were underfunded, and our Credit Rating was downgraded. 11 times. From the bridge to the beach, weve seen it all, and weve had enough. Kim guadagno isnt the change we need. Police rolled up, look at them that set the women off. They started kicking the front door, look, throwing things around. And now this is whether it goat really rough look at this. The officer became involved. Pepper spray, you know, brought out. Listen to this. Oh at 1. 1 of the offenders pick up bottles of lighter fluid and start sprague it all over the store. With a lighter threatened to burn down the store. Bombs away. Yes. So one of them actually accused the awning willing at one of the officer at the scene. Both eventually taken into custody, they face laundry list of charges. Laundry list of charges, at least they have laundry detergent for those charges. I believe thats what she was throwing, wasnt it . Laundry detergent . Lighter fluid, society a soda, all kinds of things. Not what anyone in california wanted to hear. Another wilds fire, wild fire. Can i not say the word wild fire. Fire thats wild. Burning in wine country. Yes, another one popped up. And update on the effort to try to get this one under control. 6 16, frost advisory in effect for 9 00 for the following count its, ocean, half of burlington, atlantic, cumberland. Notice on the map where the pine barons are, thats where you have good chance every seeing scattered frost this morning. Lets check the temperatures. We have 30s in pottstown. We have 43 degrees in mount pocono. It is only 39 in millville to start your day. Forty in vineland. Fortyone voorhees, 43 moorestown, sea isle city, good morning, it is 48 degrees. Brr. Yes, little jacket wet they are morning, High Pressure in control, though, this is going to be our weather maker for the next couple of days, in fact, probably through the weekends. But as it moves off shore, it will allow slightly milder temperatures, to move in, so if you liked yesterday, youre going to like today and the next couple every days even more. So, there is really nothing to show you on radar. Lets talk about what happened already before we talk about whats going to happen. Average hi, 66 degrees, we were below average yesterday with the high of 61. Today, we gain 10 degrees. Seventyone. And lower 70s again tomorrow. Then that Warming Trends continues into the weekend. Mid 70s, on saturday and sunday, and we have our altzheimers walk in wilmington, delaware, saturday morning. And the weather just about perfect, for that. Next chance every rain not until it is time for the eagles game at the linc on monday night. 101. 1 more p. M. M our radio partner, bob kelly. You can hear your forecast on the radio and tv every single morning. Sounds good, sue, great to have you back, 6 18. Weve got overturned and accident involving a deer. Here is a live look at the overturned vehicle, this is i95 northbound approaching the interchange for the platt bridge. Anyone leaving the airport area, all of the Police Activity here, looks like theyre blocking the ramp to the platt bridge. So youll have to stick with 95, and use the girard point double decker bridge. Again, thats right there, in front of the airport. Headed northbound. Accident involving a deer, the accident i showed you the last time around, actually, is the one were speaking every. The deer offer to the shoulder. Police on the scene, all westbound, on the schuylkill, jammed up from approaching the blue route, all the way out toward king of prussia. So watch for some activity in that area. Also, in the neighborhood, bala cynwyd, accident montgomery avenue anibal an avenue. Just got words, some equipment problems on the broad street subway. So theyre starting off our wednesday morning, with some delays on the subway. Mark frank forwards line looking good. No delays at the airport. Mike and alex back over to you. Thank you very much. Developing out of california where there is a massive fire at an oil refinery. This is at the chevron refinery right by the Los Angeles International airport. The fire happened after reported explosion in the area, sending thick black cloud of smoke into the air. At one point the flames threatened power lines and storage tanks filled with fuel. No injuries have been reported, the Fire Department did not order evacuations, for residents, but houses are really close to that refinery there. Lets get back to the wilds fires. Because fire fight remembers facing more challenges, in their battle against them. Crews are trying to put out a new fire, that is burning along saint mound Steep Mountain us terrain in the santa cruz area, it will be difficult to fight because the access point are dirt roads erroded during last years mud sly. So residents are real concerned about this. The way weve seen fires goes up here, now were pretty nervous. The winds kick up tonight, it could be here in a half hour. So hopefully somebody will wake me up. So now were looking at Surveillance Video outside santa rose a look at those fires. So close. 606 staffers lost their homes to the fires, but the hospital wasnt touched. That was about six a hundred homes and buildings gone. Can you imagine if that hospital had you can see the flames coming up towards the hospital. There could soon and deal to extend Obamacare Health insurance exchanges. This is not over. So there is follows president trumps move last week to ends federal subsidies for insurance premiums. The bipartisan agreement allows lower income americans to buy coverage through the obamacare markets for two more years. In exchange, states will have greater flexibility, when it comes to coverage requirements, keeping the cost sharing payments in place helps prevent premiums from rising, and main bargaining point for democrats. Okay, big story here in philadelphia. Tonight were finally here. Sixers fans, are not particularly happy about joel embiids minute restriction, but still there is excitement for tonights game. You know, joels not happy either. Hear his latest angry reaction to being only allowed to play, well, about 15, 16 minutes tonight. When youre a doubledipping pensionpadder like steve sweeney, its important to maintain a certain. Lifestyle. Thats why sweeney spent over a hundred grand of his Campaign Funds on highpriced meals and other gifts. Were talking fine cigars, fancy watches, pricey restaurants, and expensive wines all to charm the type of folks who helped him raise your taxes 145 times. Too many in south jersey are struggling. But steve sweeneys looking out for himself, not for us. Sixers open up, but embiid still on minute restriction, something hes not too happy about. Wish i was playing more minutes. I think im ready, i think im ready for more than i dont know whatever number they hav have. Flyers, panthers last night, flyers up threenothing, Nolan Patrick leaves it right between his legs for dale wise, flyers take this game, 501. The nfl and players met in new york yesterday, to discuss social change around the league, eagles defense i have back, Malcolm Jenkins was, there but doesnt look like anything is changing just yet. Im not sure were close to resolution, but conversations are ongoing. It went from, you know, just phonecalls, to obviously the first time meeting so i dont think we could come up with a whole plan and solution in two hours, and look being forward to the opportunity to really put good plan together. Thats sports in a minute. Im Kristen Rodgers thanks, kristen. Baseball playoffs continue in the nlcs, the dodgers looking to make a commanding threezero lead over the cubbies. Uhhuh. Look at this. Dominant. Seven strikeouts, dodgers ends up winning the game six to one. Theyre now one win away from going to the world series in a sweep. And then the yankees looking to tie the series with the astros, new york is down a run in the eighth, when aaron judge hits one offer the wall, driving in a run, and tying the game. A few batters later gary sanchez hits tworun double and the yankees win, and the series now tied at two. Yankees win. Yankees win. Ever hear their announcer John Sterling . Yankees won. Ever heard . Do you think hes shacking his head like that . I had a k
