chance of afternoon storms friday, saturday and sunday. how is the thursday morning traffic? >> we are starting off with big problems around the area. let's go straight to the maps. if you travel along 5301, the issue is bay dale drive. serious accident investigation continues at this hour. it's now causing did he plays, eastbound traffic is stopped at route 2 for 50, that's causing delays to

administration on route 50 overnight. so there was a work zone set up, we're told, on route 50 eastbound just before exit 28. that's bay dale drive. apparently there was a tractor trailer that was traveling through the area and struck this individual in that work zone. and the worker was killed. we're not exactly sure what kind of work was being done. all we know is the person who was killed is a subcontractor for the state highway administration and was out there overnight. so early this morning in the darkness performing this work. a dangerous situation. we don't know, however, who is at fault in this accident. but it is a fatal accident. in terms of the traffic impact, eastbound route 50 is closed at this point. that may continue to be the case at least through the early part of the rush hour. the accident reconstruction team is doing their work. traffic is being detoured at the route 2/450 exit, at route 50ing, you can only go as far as route 2 450, and will you have to we've on

after a 12-inch water main broke here and caused a major mess with water pouring down new york avenue. but it looks now like they are able to take care of that and get the repairs under way here. and it was a bit of a mess after they actually got into new york avenue and started to do some digging. they found they had lots of gas lines, also electrical lines there around that pipe. so they had to do hand digging and not rely so much on heavy equipment. that's what took so long. they are saying this is about a 70-year-old pipe. they had issues with it last year further down the road. this time it broke at montana and new york avenue. i was told by the contractors here that when they got into the pipe, they found the crack that must have been like 20 inches long. they say it was very difficult for them to get that pipe out and get it repaired. but now they have, as you can see. they are putting down that cold asphalt there. that's part of the last phase of what they need to do here. there's more clean-up they have to do. then they have to get their equipment out of the roadway here. they're hoping that by around 6:00 a.m., new york avenue should be open for traffic, so folks should not have to detour this morning like they did yesterday. i'm tracee wilkins, back to you in the studio. >> thank you very much. right now crews are preparing to use a giant pair of sheers

of tar balls. skimmers have been deployed near pensacola. >> reporter: hundreds of miles away and one mile beneath the surface, robotic subs are continuing work for the cut-and-cap, after that plan on wednesday hit a snag. >> the saw got stuck, not unlike if you were sawing through a piece of wood and it binds up. >> reporter: now they hope to finish the slice but plans may change again. >> we would like to optimize that and put what we call a top cap on it. if we don't get as clean as a cut we want, we will put a top hat over it t a little wider fitting, but there's an increased chance of oil coming out around the sides. >> reporter: any oil too much to bear for those waiting for its arrival, knowing it could ruin much more than vacation plans. kristin dahlgren, nbc news. the president

been able to open up the shoulder area and get some of the traffic through on the shoulder. what i'm being told is they will try to get a regular lane open on eastbound route 50 in the next 15 minutes

why the students did not walk to a nearby high school. in a letter to parents, the principal said unfortunately the determination that it was safe to return to the boiuilding too longer than expected. during the evacuation we monitored the students well-being and provided them with assistance as need. there was no bomb in the building. the incident is still under investigation. getting bumped from your flight can be frustrating, but it may soon be profitable as well. airlines would have to give passengers as much as $1,300 for being bumped from a flight involuntarily. passengers must receive up to $800 under the current rules. under the proposal, airlines would also have to prominently disclose baggage fees, they would have to give passengers timely notice of flight status changes as well.
