A van packed with three Young Children and three women in their 20s crashed into a building after someone fired several gunshots at the van, which was headed north on broad street. At least one of those bullets struck and killed the 23 year old driver. No one else in the car was shot. All suffered injuries from the accident. They were transported to einstein medical center. It is pretty incredible that no one else in the area was seriously injured as bullet flew on this busy block. After the gunshots were fired, it appears that the driver lost control and continued to drive in a northwestern direction where she crossed overall of the lanes of broad street and also crossed over both lanes of 5800 block of old york road, drove up on to the sidewalk, and crashed into a building. And thats where police found her as well as her five passengers. Police say the driver who opened fire was behind the wheel of a dark colored car that continued northbound on broad street, investigators tell us, there are cameras in the area, so theyre pulling that Surveillance Video now, and theyre interviewing witnesses, at this point, the 23 year old victim has not been identified.

During his testimony yesterday, he denied the charges saying quote i dont do pay to play. The mayor told jurors he was not involved in rigging contract, and that it was also aware of the need to keep city business separate from his campaign. 5 11, one of my favorite case that is happened in the city of philadelphia, was when to, football player, running his mouth, kept talking about donovan mcnabb. Donovan got so mad at him, get my name out your mouth. We got a case that far right now. Get my name out of your mouth. Yes, this time, talking about meryl streep.

They do have injuries, not certain how the injuries occurred. If they were hit with glass or as a result of the van crashing into the building. And there was some heavy damage to the van. So, it was pretty hard crash. So, police are looking to find the driver who opened fire, who was that person behind the wheel after dark northbound on broad street . Investigators tell us, there are cameras in the area. They are pulling that Surveillance Video<\/a> to help put the pieces together, and investigators right now say it is unclear why this woman may have been targeted, or could this have been a road rage incident . Police right now cant say for sure what the motivation here was. Back to you. So they get those answers youll keep us updated i know, jenny, 5 35.

Thieves waiting for drivers to make common mistake when they run into grab that coffee or sandwich. Youve been warned. Apparently some people not listening. Steve keeley in newark this morning costing people their rides. Steve . Reporter well, last saturday, some guy came in for a cuban roast coffee, sizzly and chrysler 200, and the car was the quickest to grab of the three since the cuban roast, like it, it was all warmed up and suddenly hot. Different hot than coffee hot, hot as in stolen hot. The actual owner left it running saturday while going inside this wawa. He was the third car owner who had his vehicle swiped from the front of the store in eight days. All left running. All owners left idle themselves because they left their cars idle while going inside for coffee. Just dont think it will happen. Like im only going to be gone a second and thats it. But it can happen. Absolutely is. People running into wawa for a few minutes and leaving their car running out in the parking lot, and unfortunately there was people waiting, watching them go in, im assuming, and taking their vehicle from them. Reporter karen, thomas, the common denominate or, all happened in the morning, in fact, the first of those three thefts happened at 5 33 a. M. , right around now, then one in the 6 00 hour, one in the 7 00. So were keeping our eyes out. Were seeing plenty of people who either didnt get the news or just dont care. Because theyre still leaving their cars running when they go inside thinking hey it is so busy no one would dare commit a crime while all of these people are around. The problem is you dont look like a thief when you simply walk into a car and leave. Because people are constantly coming and going out of here anyway. So, it is an easy crime to commit. And easy to get away. Because you already got a head start on the owners probably in line waiting to pay, because it is cents so busy this time of day. Good point, steve. All right, thank you, thats an important warning for us all. 5 38. She is used to asking the question how are you doing . Well, she admits shes not doing so well.

Yes, it is. See how were flowing this morning, bob kelly . Things are flowing okay right here. Behind me, on the northeast extension, near allentown, the problem, though, on the overnight, just got update from the turnpike officials, sounds like an electrical conduit. They were calling it a beam. But it sounds like just electrical tube of plastic con conduit fell down in the tunnel, the southbound lanes overnight, which then caused an accident. So they cleared the accident. Theyre trying to make repairs to the electrical conduit. Right now all southbound lanes are closed in the tunnel. The Lehigh Valley<\/a> tunnel between Mahoning Valley<\/a> and the Lehigh Valley<\/a>. That will will throw some extra time in your commute. They hope to have it opened by 6 00, 6 30 or so.

So was trenton. Even mount pocono, 70 degrees. Needless to say, spring skiing conditions in the mountains yesterday. So the rain is starting to get a little bit closer. Weve got our cold front making it way through the area right now. It is already very cold in the northern part of the state. But we do not have that stuff in our forecast. Meaning snow. Little heavy downpour. Entering berks county, at the moment. So, have the rain gear with you. Because were all going to get our turn with some rain throughout the morning, throughout the afternoon, on and off, not every single minute, but it looks like pretty rainy day, especially through the evening rush hour. We get little break, whats going to happen now, the cold front stalls just to our south. Then we get some waves of low pressure coming in, giving us some rain every now and again through the weekend. So, weve got tomorrow afternoon with scattered showers, may not be as rainy as today. Saturday could see tiny peak of sunshine at some point.
