Scott kelly lynne is at the live desk to talk about the mans harrowing ordeal.

Take a look now at the Surveillance Video from the u street metro station in northwest which is where this all happened. D. C. Firefighters were called there after receiving a report about the accident. The man was driving along the platform when he started to veer towards the edge. And actually fell over on to the tracks.

For a full list of metro stations offering that car sharing, go to our website at wjla. Com. Alison ok. So lets get a check on the traffic situation. Jamie sullivan is here with the details. Hi jamie. Jamie we have a commute thats a slow one. I want to run through a lot of the areas where were seeing the most congestion beginning in maryland. 95 that stretch basically between route 32 and the beltway in both directions were seeing stop and go. Mainly, though the heaviest part is going to be northbound getting to baltimore. Same thing on the baltimorewashington parkway, past nasa goddard continuing north, we are seeing the delays. As we move a little bit closer to the beltway, the heaviest spot for you on the inner loop is going to be basically between the American Legion bridge and 270 right near the spur, going to take you 15 minutes. Thats where you do see most of this red. Moving to 66. Our commute heading outbound right now jammed inside the beltway. So you got it basically from arlington continuing a little bit closer towards falls church and then once you get outside of the beltway, getting to centreville, stop and go averaging in some spots 10 Miles Per Hour and even Single Digits in some areas. Our commute right now ok. 395 heading out of the city. Heading inbound on 395, though, we have a disabled on the 14th street bridge. They should clear that out soon and should be able to get through there but no big crashes right now on our interstates which is good. Its going to be the afternoon commute and slowing. But seems like its a nice commute and a little bit of sun glare in some spots. That is a look at traffic. Back to you. Scott all right. Thank you, talk about sun glare. Nice to have sun compared to what we had last night. Doug a little sunny in the afternoon. That aided in the development of those storms. Whole different kind of day. I wanted to start out with coverage we received several. This was from my stomping grounds in Calvert County from Southern Maryland weather news. Karen shot this from Prince Frederick yesterday afternoon. That eventually developed some circulation and moved a couple of miles west over the Chesapeake Bay and formed into a water spout. It was a wild day. But at least did very little in the way of any damage. There was hail and wind and nonstoplightening and a lot of rain. You take the rain from yesterday, sunshine from today and gusty winds, pollen has gone crazy out there. Beautiful change after last night. Just a few fair weather clouds and lots of sunshine. Temperatures in the 60s and will enjoy a very pleasant evening with absolutely zero chance of rain tonight but overnight, maybe a couple of sprinkles in spots. Well explain those possibilities to you. First, enjoy the temperatures. 69 right now. Thats 11 degrees cooler than the High Temperature of 80 yesterday. Thats pretty good. Heres the pollen count. Very high range for trees and according to the microbiologist to date with more to follow. The tree pollen drops off over the next sefrl weeks, the grass pollen will start to take over. We get mold spores. Thats what its like around here. Cooler air will be a theme of our forecast. Not only in the seven day outlook but well beyond theres a big upper level low. That is going to prevent us from any major warmup until this breaks loose and goes several hundred miles into the canadian maritimes. So get use to cool weather. We see a few sprinkles coming in later tonight and then through the day tomorrow glimpse of sun. Well clear out quickly beyond that and be into good shape as we head into the day on thursday. Cool look into the upper 50s with sunshine on thursday. Friday, well look at temperatures making a little bit of a recovery here. Maybe as high as 60 degrees. Late afternoon showers possible near 60. Partly sunny skies by sunday and again into monday. Quiet. Thats the way we like it. Alison we need that after last night. Thank you. Doug ok. Scott coming up here on abc 7 news at 4 00 it appears that the senate has cleared the way for the long stalled vote on attorney general nominee Loretta Lynch. Well tell you how a Human Trafficking bill could be the key. Alison but first, changing the assumption that post Traumatic Stress disorder is only linked to members of the military. The result of a recent study on ptsd and i. C. U. Patients. Alison now to 7 on your side Health Matters today. Post Traumatic Stress disorder also of course known as ptsd is often associated with members of the military or others who have been in major catastrophes or assaults. But theres a recent Johns Hopkins study that found many i. C. U. Patients actually suffer from ptsd and joining us now, dr. Ann parker a fellow at Johns Hopkins and i know you helped to lead this study which is really quite interesting. And you said you worked on it for some two years. How many people are we talking about that this really affects . Yeah so what we know about people who are to survive a Critical Illness is they can have a number of complications. So these can be impairments in cognition, physical function and mental health. And one aspect of this is ptsd symptoms. And so in this systemic review we found that between one in five one in four patients experienced clinically important ptsd symptoms after their i. C. U. Stay. Alison it makes a lot of sense when you step back and think about what the people are going through when they end up in the i. C. U. Are there things that theyre learning from the study that can be helpful to people experiencing this . I think so definitely. We were able to elicit some risk factors, people that make people vulnerable to developing ptsd symptoms after an i. C. U. Stay and some of the factors include a history of anxiety and depression. Also, receiving certain types of sedating medications in the i. C. U. And having memories of frightening experiences around the i. C. U. , things like memories of blood pouring down the walls floating faces, people thinking theyre being assaulted when they may have a chest tube placed to help drain fluid or hair from around the lungs. Alison if you identify a patient who is perhaps, experiencing this are there things you can do to help alleviate the symptoms . One thing that we realized is limiting sedation in the i. C. U. At one point in time, we thought the best thing to do was keep our patients sedated while receiving life support, things like mechanical ventilation and medications to supported their Blood Pressure but we now know that really patients may be doing better if we keep them awake and have them be a part of their care. One thing we can do is limit sedation in the i. C. U. The other thing that we found in this study is using an i. C. U. Diary might be helpful. Alison thats for them to keep a diary or the doctors . The idea is that the patients loved ones and caregivers to keep a diary of whats happening to them and at home in the i. C. U. Once the patient is awake and alert, they can go back and review this diary. And i think it may help them to process what happened during the i. C. U. And hopefully prevent or treat some of these depressing ptsd symptoms. Alison thank you so much. Really interesting study and we appreciate your time. Thank you for having me. Alison all right. Have a great day. Thank you. Well, just ahead right here at 4 00, hundreds pack a temple to remember a local College Student. Police say she was killed by her roommate. An update on that investigation. And caught on camera. Police officers rushing to pull a man from a fiery s. U. V. What theyre saying about that chaotic scene.

Cameras here captured the person roaming through the school. Anyone with any information should call police. A deal announced today in the senate should clear the way for the long stalled vote on attorney general nominee Loretta Lynch. Mary malony explains how lynch got caught in the middle of a dispute over a Human Trafficking bill. Reporter after months of political back and forth, Loretta Lynch may finally get to hear whether or not shell become the next attorney general. Confirm quickly. Reporter the problem isnt with lynch. She has enough votes for confirmation. Instead, the fight focused on federal funding for abortions. Republicans added an amendment to the antiHuman Trafficking bill that prevents Government Funds from being used to pay for abortions. Its common to see such provisions but democrats say the move was unprecedented. After nearly five months of bickering, tuesday both sides seemed to come to an agreement. Im glad that we can now say there is a bipartisan proposal that will allow us to complete action on this important legislation so we can provide help to the victims who desperately need it. Reporter it also stops the legal limbo with lynch and outgoing attorney general eric holder. Holders holdup to get out of office has lasted so long staffers inside the Justice Department have started wearing black wrist bands that say free eric holder. Tuesday, the Senate Majority leader indicated a vote on lynch will come in the next day or soshgs a move members of both parties praised. This compromise is evident that when republicans and democrats sit down together, good things can happen. Senate needs more of those. Reporter mary malony, abc 7 news. Alison an audit found the maryland lottery and Gaming Control Agency did not correctly handle unclaimed vouchers worth 704,000. The vouchers came from slot machine winnings in 2013 at maryland casinos. The Baltimore Sun reports the department of legislative Services Says all unclaimed winnings should have gone to the state. The audit, though said the money should have been divided between casinos and the state. Still ahead here at 4 00 the Police Department hasnt figured out yet how to fund body cameras. But thats not stopping some officers from spending hundreds of dollars and buying their own. Why one officer says he made the move. And running for a very special cause.

It is author dennis yang and he is joining us as he runs 11,000 miles around 35 states border of the country. Tell me why youre doing this and what it is you hope to accomplish. Im promoting literacy and fitness to children everywhere. I go into childrens hospitals, orphanages and Public Schools and i give them books. Basically, books that i wrote. I give them to the kids. And really inspire them to read. Get them pumped up about it. Reporter and youve got some of the books with you right here. Yeah. This is for our youngest age group and this is our most recent one. I share with them my love of the different art and the illustrations and really ill read to them and teach them how to set a goal and accomplish that goal. Reporter a lot of people that want to help out dont run the border of the country. Basically, when i started out writing these books, the way that i got my inspiration was through running. Id get more ideas. And so as i was able to run further and farther i would i would get better ideas and the stories grew more complex and so thats where it all started. Reporter i understand the only time you take a break is when youre in a city or a town where you can go ahead and spend some time with the kids. In the meantime, though lets talk about the actual running. No easy feat. I know youve run across the country before several years ago and you havent done the border. Youre about halfway down right now. How many pairs of shoes do you go through and how do you feel . Ok. So usually, im fatigued but the kids help me push through.

Alison after a string of incidents around the country, many people Police Departments are, of course looking into getting body cameras now. But in austin, texas some Police Officers are spending hundreds of dollars of their own money to buy these body cameras and as nadia tells us the officer tells us the video is priceless.

Dont you move get down on the ground stay down. I got the driver tased. Slow down reporter youre watching video from a body camera that he bought for himself. He says incidents like this are worth the 200. Later on when we got him into custody, he met with the supervisor and the supervisor pretty much had told me that i tased him several times. Reporter but the video shows otherwise. It goes where i go and sees what i see. Reporter a few of the options 1800 Police Officers have bought their own cameras but more will soon have them. This is something weve been interested in for quite a while. Reporter assistant police chief Jason Dusterhoff said the department is looking to buy more than 800 body cameras in the coming years. But first, police must decide whether to use them and what parts of videos should be subject to open records. I have the driver tased. This is the officers privacy and the citizens privacy. Were looking at policy that makes sure it shields both. Reporter while they work out privacy issues the department is moving forward. In the meantime, more officers are considering buying their own. That definitely saves me and definitely made sure that i was still adhering to policy while i was out doing this job. Alison Austin Police could equip officers with body cameras in the next two years if they can find the funding for them. Scott .
