A tractortrailer overturned shortly after 7 oclock this morning along the ramp to 95 north from the blue route. The 32yearold driver lost control, flipping the truck onto its side. Investigators say he is being treated at crozer hospital for minor injuries. The crash blocked the ramp for about three hours. It was reopened around 10 30 this morning. All right, hoping for a smoother go as we head into the evening commute and get a first check on the action news traffic report. One could hope. Lets go live to matt pelman in the action news traffic center. Hey, matt. Its good to try and keep hope alive but im probably here to dash those hopes, at least for drivers along 95 unfortunately were off to a really rough start this evening as well, brian and sharrie, these are the northbound lanes of 95 at Bridge Street and its a messy crash taking out three of the four lanes. You can see traffic just barely squeezing by on the right side of the roadway. And right now its an hour and 20 minutes, more than five times what it should be to get northbound on 95 from the vine up to woodhaven. Yes, that is not a good start. Delays from 95 are spilling back onto the vine jammed solid from the schuylkill out 295. Westbound side of the vine doesnt look a whole lot better with a sea of red brake lights. Those vine delays spilling back onto the schuylkill just 7 Miles Per Hour on the westbound side so really having the domino effect all because of that northbound accident on 95 by Bridge Street. I would think alternates like frankford avenue or the northbound boulevard this afternoon. As you head toward the boulevard on the westbound schuylkill theres a tractortrailer accident, that luckily is off to the side and using the city avenue bridge to get to the schuylkill theres a crash there as well. A vehicle pretty badly banged up. You can squeeze by but its causing restrictions. 42 southbound extra heavy coming off the walt whitman bridge.

Its 4 30 and action news continues with an update on breaking news that we have been following closely from west chester. Within the last hour authorities released new details on this massive and destructive fire that consumed much of the barclay assisted living facility. That fire sparked around 10 30 last night and spread very quickly. Witnesses say the building seemed to be engulfed within two minutes leaving little time to evacuate. We now know there were at least 160 people inside at the time including staff and many senior citizens. We also know that at least 27 people were hurt but that number could well rise. Officials say theyre still trying to account for everyone who was inside at the time but its simply too dangerous right now to go back in the buildings. The mayor of west chester says hes extraordinarily proud of the citys reaction to those in need including Police Officers who were first on the scene. Squad pulled about 15 people out of very heavily burning building. Im very proud of how our community has come together during this tragedy. Its obviously a very large human cost to Something Like this. Well, as officials work to determine if there was any loss of life, a Specialized Task force is working to determine what sparked the blaze and if it could have been prevented.

This fire engulfed the building raising the question what happened . Action news has learned that the department of health cited barclay friends for fire safety violations in recent years. In february, building Safety Inspection reports state the facility failed to protect openings with sealant. Fire caulking helped prevent the spread of flames. Safety reports also reveal that the facility was cited for broken sprinklers in emergency exits and halls were blocked in recent years. A critical question is whether Fire Suppression systems worked properly. It is still an Ongoing Investigation so i cant speak to that specifically. Reporter investigators say they will know more once theyre able to get into the gutted building and begin investigating. A team of dozens of federal and local authorities will be involved. They dont yet know the origin and cause of the fire. We have a laboratory in maryland not far from here at all and the county facility, so well have the full support from all those folks. Reporter and according to Pennsylvania Department of Health Inspection reports, all of the violations were corrected quickly. Now, weve made repeated calls to a spokesperson for barclay friends.

A proposal to create a gun registry for gun offenders in delaware will not be moving forward. The gun offender registration act would have required all wilmington residents convicted of gun crimes to register with the City Police Department within 10 days of their release.

Again, if youre headed toward the schuylkill or toward city avenue coming off lincoln drive or kelly drive theres a crash taking out the left lane on the city avenue bridge southbound and in east falls a broken down vehicle along schoolhouse at ridge right there by alibaba limousine. Delays on the schuylkill heading toward the vine. Its not looking pretty on this friday afternoon especially on the eastbound side. We are just at a crawl from 76 out to 95. Thats again because of that northbound accident on 95 at Bridge Street thats now off to the side but damage is done. Northbound travel time still just under an hour which is about four times what it should be as you come northbound on 95 from center city up to woodhaven road. Southbound we had a gaper delay here by cottman. Luckily thats thinning out. Southbound on 95 isnt so bad. But southbound on 295 coming out of Burlington County into camden county, extra slow at 37 minutes because there was a crash along the white horse pike now on the shoulder. Well check it again, brian and sharrie, coming up in the 5 oclock hour. Busy friday. Yeah. All right, matt, thank you. Take a live look outside on this friday evening. Sky6 giving us a beautiful view over the Commodore Barry bridge as sun sets on this friday evening. Meteorologist adam joseph coming up with that exclusive accuweather 7day forecast next. Meteorologist adam joseph with the all important weekend accuweather forecast. It is. We have a lot of people coming into town for the marathon weekend both saturday and sunday. So, a little pressure on our shouulders here. Not perfect but well try to eke out most of it dry as we take a look right now at the Weather Center live on sky6 take a look at this shot again from the Commodore Barry bridge with that little bit of a glow of pink in the sky as the sun is about to set. We have a little bit of cirrus clouds out there in a few spots but overall a nice start to our friday evening. Temperaturewise right now 50 degrees philadelphia, millville and wilmington, 48 in allentown, 49 degrees in trenton and that wind is starting to calm down a little bit so were not seeing much of a wind chill in the city of philadelphia or points south and east. It is down into the lower 40s for the lehigh valley, reading right now, lancaster the same temperature but these numbers will start to come down overnight even though the wind relaxes, were really going to cool it off by saturday morning. Theres some of those high clouds coming in from the north and west ahead of a warm front that comes in during the day tomorrow, so its broken in nature now but those clouds are going to really win out tomorrow and eventually we do get wet here tomorrow afternoon. So, for tonight, partly cloudy, again those winds relaxing and those temperatures crashing. 27 in the suburbs by the morning, 35 degrees for center city. But the good news here, even though the temps are cold, those winds will be light and variable. We take a look at future tracker here first thing tomorrow morning those clouds quickly coming in maybe a little bit of filtered sun if youre up very early in the morning, you could see some rain and mixed snow in northern parts of pennsylvania in the morning. As we get into the afternoon tomorrow, about a quarter to threequarters of an inch of rain from tomorrow afternoon to sunday morning. So, it does turn wet tomorrow afternoon, so think about that if you have outdoor plans. Morning dry, afternoon damp and as we get into the evening tomorrow, theres going to be a bit of a lull as that warm front lifts to the north and then some steadier rain comes in in the wee hours of sunday morning. This is at 3 oclock that the morning. The question is can this move out in time for the start of the marathon on sunday morning . Future tracker showing the rain is quickly out of here but other models are saying it could hold back until about 8 oclock, so well have to follow that for early on sunday morning but the one thing that you will feel on sunday is the winds. The winds will be sustained between 17 and 25 miles an hour with gusts to near 45 miles an hour so if youre a runner, youll get a little bit of tail wind, head wind i did that race last year so its kind of all over the place with the winds but for a spectator definitely want to wear many layers cause its going to feel very chilly on sunday morning and then next week for your travel, tuesday great day. Looks to be dry. Wednesday there could be some showers around to slow down some of that travel time. But thanksgiving itself, its a go here, dry and green. As we take a look at the exclusive accuweather 7day forecast, afternoon showers developing tomorrow, 55 degrees. Its windy on sunday but drying out, 54 degrees. But again, you got to factor in that wind chill with that 54. Brisk chilly monday, 48. Bump it up to 58 tuesday, looks great. Early showers wednesday, drying late in the day of 54. And light winds for the parade here in town. 46 degrees is a bit chilly but at least its dry. And then on friday partly sunny, 50 degrees looking pretty good as we go into black friday as well, guys.
