Gold. There you have it, thank you. Lets get right to the weather and the traffic. This morning potentially they have to be related, sue. Yes, a lot going on this morning, including the rain thats moving through our area right now, and few thunderstorms, we will take closer look at exactly where. See parts of ocean county, burlington county, Atlantic County getting most of the heavy rain, more heavy rain moving into new castle county, this morning, so we see round in delaware, some heavy rain trenton, seeing some heavy rain, ease up for the moment in philadelphia. More in the forecast. Fine your umbrella, probably havent used in quite a while. Bring it with you today. 8mile per hour winds, 93 relative humidity, 64 degrees mount pocono, 73 Atlantic City, 75 in dover. Some Poor Visibility because of this rain. That will will slow you down. Just take it east think morning. 84 degrees our high temperature. Heatwave is over, and we have some sun popping out later on in the day, but also more scattered showers as a cold front comes through. So thats a look at your forecast for your thursday. Of course we dont know if the rain is the problem with this accident, but big accident on i95. Steve keeley is on the scene right now. Steve, whats going on . Reporter sue, i can tell from firsthand experience i was on 95 when these torrential rains were happening in the past hour. And it always floods in a part long before here in the construction zone. What you are looking at is the Chestnut Street overpass right before the columbus boulevard exit. And look at that tractortrailer jackknifed and wedged in there. The tractor part where the driver would be, is to the right, and you cant see that, thats the jackknife part. That truck is facing straight, but you can see the trailer completely blocking all the lanes of 95, firefighters here, they just had some ambulances squeeze around, you can get by on the left, thats fortunate, because thats how the Fire Department and ambulances got through. Then about 70 yards past this scene is where you will see a lot of activity where the other vehicle involved is past here. So, this tractortrailer may have lost control trying to just jam on the brakes and seeing that accident ahead of him, before there was any flashing lights or any warnings, and maybe some visibility, because you have the long under pass here, and you can see the lights that i will loom nature the under pass. Well spin around. Look all of the people are out of their cars right now. They are doing that because it went from torrential downpours to no rain at all. So everybodys wondering whats going on, because traffic is not getting anywhere. When we got on here, traffic was already back up past the ben franklin bridge. And even though traffic was being forced off at the vine street expressway, that may not be an option once traffic backs up all the way to girard avenue. Because thats where 95 splits to go off the vine street expressway, no police back there, because they were so busy here. So i talked to a state trooper. He had no idea what the traffic situation was back there. Now seeing ambulances, going back toward the city the other way on 95, and thats always a good sign if people needed medical help. Ill walk over here, give you an idea. If you were getting on 95 down the street from the station on Market Street, you have that one lane thats open. And you can see here, police have now blocked that, thats Market Street right there, so nobodys going to get on 95 even this week, this is the one option, see the trooper now wacking ahead. And the reason we are app not getting you the pictures, greg, i ask to you do something. Come over this concrete barrier with me. Well try to get awe picture while you cant see because the under pass is solid all the way through here, but you can get an idea about how this is going to be a headache for a long time. As far as detours telling people, i think, sue, the east years thing to say until this is cleared up is stay away from 95. Dont get on 95 thinking you can possibly get to the vine street expressway. Because i think it will be back up so far, back to girard, maybe even to allegheny, because you know how busy 95 is even this time of day. Look at the back up from here. Looking back now, im telling when you people start getting out of their car that tells you theyve already been here for awhile as it is. Boy, this will be a problem all morning long. And of course thanks for all of the detail out there at the scene, steve. Well have him out there all morning long to keep us updated on that situation. But this is i95, right in the city, and right around south, headed toward south philadelphia. And this is another look at the scene right thereof just everybody at a stand still. No where to go right now. So they are working on of course the people who were involved in the accident and then of course alleve rating the traffic back up. We show you a map where this is all happening just so you know, i95 southbound, between the vine street expressway, and the central philadelphia exit and columbus boulevard, all lanes blocked there. We will check the route 42 freeway, a lot of slower going this morning because of that rain, but everybodys getting along okay. Well have of course updates on the i95 situation for you throughout the rest of the morning. Guys . Sue, great job. Meantime, more breaking news, out of south philadelphia.

You can see the signs, where this happened. Right at the under pass after which you get off columbus boulevard and washington avenue. There were two separate accident actually, and as a result, all lanes are blocked. So, stay away from i95 southbound in philadelphia. Now, undoubtedly there is a back up northbound, as well, usually happens that way, even at this hour of the morning. But i95 southbound around columbus boulevard area is completely blocked, and of course, everybody who was in that backup is just standing still, people getting out of their cars, looking around to see what was going on, so again, two separate accidents there. Well keep you updated on that throughout the rest of the morning. Now, we dont know if rain was a factor or not. Lets take another look. This is another look at the Traffic Camera of the same scene. And then i believe we have a map to look at. Just to put it in perspective for you, you can see the slowdowns already. At this hour of the morning traffic is never slow on i95, so you want to stay away from that area if at all possible. Otherwise, this wet roadways this morning, we transition to weather now, doing double duty this week, and sometimes one impacts the other. And that could be the case today. Because we had some heavy rain overnight in the philadelphia area, a lot of that has moved over to the shore, we zoom in here to burlington, ocean county, where were seeing pretty heavy rain along the garden state parkway around brigantine, around Atlantic City this morning, as well. And some pretty heavy downpours around middletown, delaware, in new castle county. And just to the north of that. But we have got a future cast that shows rain continuing on and off throughout the rest of the morning. Maybe slowing down after 8 00, but the clouds persisting, little bit of sunshine, but look what happens, as the rest of the colds front comes through, between 2 00 and 4 00 p. M. , maybe even as late as 7 00. So more pop up showers, and thunderstorms as we get rid of that storm system. Which will clear things out nicely for tomorrow. Remember, that great weekend forecast, we had for you, not any more, thanks to Tropical Storm hermine, latest computer models show much closer track of the storm to us by the end of the Holiday Weekends, and this also shows strengthening to category one hurricane, before it slams into the panhandle of florida so a loft rain associated with this storm, a lot of rain already happening in florida, some places could get ten, 12 inches of rain from this storm, in florida.

Steve, i know youre on the breaking news right now. Whats the latest on i95 southbound . Reporter im stand being 3 feet up on this median between 95 north and south, right before Chestnut Street, to the left, would be the hyatt hotel to give you people a landmark. You see the northbound traffic, smoothly running, but with the northbound traffic you can see that there are two simultaneous overpasses for you people who normally speed through here and dont notice that. We have two crash scenes. A tractortrailer jackknife under Chestnut Street, another crash scene involving the firefighters you talk about under the next overpass, more when we see you next. Live from philadelphia. This is fox 29 morning news. Avoid i95 southbound, tractortrailer versus firetruck in south philadelphia, several firefighters taken to the hospital, live report, in minutes.

The first day of september, means, travel headaches. It dogs. All right, lets get right out to steve keeley covering the breaking news story for us, on i95, high steve. Ninetyfive south, approaching allegheny, if not already there, were in technically south philadelphia, just south of the Market Street overpass, what you are looking at right now. And these people have been sitting here since about 3 00, when this accident happened, and it was a torrential downpour, because i was driving on 95 south at the time, it was coming down in buckets. When you have these high medians on both sides of 95, here, because of the overpasses, and further up south and north, because of construction zones, when it comes down that much, you have hydroplaning situations, and several accidents all the time. So the firefighters may have been treating people from a previous accident there is tractortrailer jackknifed proke probably trying to stop and swerve to avoid the accident at the next overpass. So, from our Vantage Point here on the median, you can see this jackknife tractortrailer under the Chestnut Street overpass, then, if you look past that, you see all of the flashing lights, maybe making an ambulance and firetruck, they all, and the state troopers, they all reacted to the original accident scene, where you are talking about the firefighters being hurt at the next overpass, and thats why nobodys even caring about this truck right now, because the injured folks were further up about 100 yards. So, you have got a double accident scene here on 95 south, and the real story is as the morning rush hour builds, the traffic is going to build back up all the way likely to the betsy ross bridge if not even beyond that stay off 95 southbound no matter how north. Up from need to come to center city, finds some other way if you are leaving this time of day. Normally this time of day is the time to take 95 when there is no traffic. Sue, look at the back up. People have been out of their vehicles for over an hour now, theyre telling us. It is amazing, this many cars at 4 30 in the morning, but we know that were not the only ones up at this hour. So of course well keep you updated on this situation, weve got this live camera at the scene, heres another camera to show you, a different perspective of the scene. It is when we just south of Market Street, so when we get on i95 south, from the station here, fourth and market, this is the exit we take. But that did not happen in that tunnel. It is the tunnel to the left of that where i95, where you can get off at washington avenue and columbus boulevard before, right before that exit. So say between Market Street and columbus boulevard, i95 southbound, thats where it happened. We have a map to show you, as well, of this, and you can see, where you see the yellow, you see thats how slow it is, now, when that little car that is yellow turns red, thats when it is really back up. But really you cant get through there. That should be red, because i95 southbound is completely blocked. So, thats whats happening with that. Well have frequent updates on that. We also have another accident to tell you about. This happened in cheltenham, willow grove avenue, at sandy hill road. Watch out for that one, as well. So, wet roadways this morning, potentially the cause of these accident, regardless, you need to leave early, take your time this morning, hasnt rained in a while, so maybe we forgot how to drive in it.

Lets talk temperature in philadelphia right now, 74 degrees, with 8mile per hour winds out of the northnorthwest. We have cold front coming through today.

Rain starting to reenter lancaster and berks counties this morning, and will eventually make its way into chester and delaware county, and probably here, according to this future cast, we have more rain and maybe some more thunderstorms this morning. We get break around midday, around lunchtime, with clouds, and a little bit of sun, and then more popups coming any time after 2 00, lasting through the evening, until the rest of this cold front gets out of here. And we do have some pretty nice weather at least to start the Holiday Weekends, but a brand new path, new projections for this Tropical Storm, hermine, right here in the gulf of mexico, south of the panhandle of florida, strengthen, predicted to category one hurricane, before it slams into the panhandle, goes through georgia, it goes through south carolina, eventually, North Carolina, virginia, but the track is much further westward than we initially thought. We thought it would take a sharp right at North Carolina and not bother us at all, thats completely different today. It goes back to a Tropical Storm, it is still expected to have a lot of moisture with it. And this could all affect specially sundays weather, for the Holiday Weekend, potential rainfall estimates, you see our guide here, dont expect ton of rain from the storm but of course since it is going to be a coastal storm, there will be more rain at the shore on sunday, is when we are expecting that. Meanwhile, we ended up tying the record for the most 90 agree plus days in the month of august, with our 91 degrees high yesterday. Today, 84, much cooler, 83 on friday, i think we will be sunny on saturday. It looks like the rain that is coming from hermine will arrive on sunday, but stay tuned, because that could change, and hopefully clearing up by monday, looks like, weve got some more heat and humidity in our future for the middle of next week, chris, lauren . We go back to steve keeley now, hes in philadelphia, i95 southbound lanes blocked, because of the crash. Steve, good morning. Reporter chris, i told you, i showed you five minute ago, now it went past this. It went up to the firetruck crash scene, which is at least a football fields lent past this jackknife tractortrailer. So weve got two crash scenes here on 95 south. What i was going to say before i rudly cut myself off by walking away from out of range with the microphone was the traffic was being forced off the vine street expressway, but keep in mind, it is shutdown most nights until 5 00 a. M. For construction, because they are tearing apart the bridges. So, even though they were forced the vine street expressway, as far as they could go was broad street. So talking to the police here, theyre telling me all of this 95 southbound traffic, even in the mid of the night because it is a mob scene here, you can tell by the volume youre looking at, was being forced off at broad street. So, all of this 95 southbound traffic, three lanes of tractortrailers, vans, jeeps, cars, all being forced in the center city at broad street, which was another traffic mess, thats where jenny joyce and jared are trying to make their way out to hahnemann hospital. Thats broad and vine. And thats where the injured from this accident coincidentally, do you have wonder how did they get through all of that traffic . Because it was a mess over there with people being forced off. But the good part is, alex, chris, and lauren, is that that reopens usually on most scheduled days, at 5 00 a. M. So, maybe that will alleviate the parking lot on the vine street expressway and all of that center city traffic. Hopefully that wasnt tomorrow details not to understand. But what a story this is. I big story, and im sure everyone in their cars has a story to tell. A lot of them are out of their cars. Are they coming up to you frustrated for answers when this might clear up . Reporter well the advantage of them is they can find the answer themselves, because they are close enough to see the crash scene. And understand why. Plus, these were the first folks, and theyre all thanking their lucky stars they didnt drive under that jackknife tractortrailer that it was lit up, because they would have been decapitated. It is perpendicular to 95. Im telling you people do like 85 miles an hour here on a normal overnight shift. And i think that we are lucky that we didnt have even worse crash scene with tractortrailer across the road. Thats why you see those reflective strips on the sides of tractortrailers, so people can see them at night when they hit them with their headlights, they reflect back and tell people hey, stop in the nick of time. These First Vehicles that stopped were the first people that came across this accident. Thank god they stopped before getting under that tractortrailer and getting 1 wedged under there, and who knows what would have happened. Avoid i95 southbound if you can.

The lawn service hadnt been showing up, and so the woman so besides herself took matters and a pair of scissors, into her own hands. The email made it to the young volume uner.
