Today on i74 could have been deadly if not for the heroic actions of one man. He was seen standing at the scene telling semi drivers to stop. Then vanished and as nine on your sides Scott Wegener shows us one woman wants that man to know how much hes appreciated. Darrell howell saw the castastophe coming in slow motion. And i thought i seen something, and i started slowing downi was only doing about thirty, thirtyfive. But there just wasnt no stopping. Because of his quick thinking, he escaped with relatively minor damage to his truck. But dozens of other vehicles were not so lucky. They crashed into each other during a white out, here on interstate 74, near West Harrison indiana. You couldnt see anything. Brittany herth was one of them. I got hit and then i hit a brown jeep that was in front of me. And i actually hit the concrete wall. As catastrophic as this accident was, drivers say it could have been a lot worse, if not for a Good Samaritan who got out of his car, risking his life

Yeah, its not so bad this morning because we dont have the strong winds that weve had recently but, yeah, its still definitely cold. Take a look at satellite. We are looking at plenty of sunshine coming up over the horizon later on this morning and its going to stay with us pretty much all day long because High Pressure is in control. Temperatures right now, though, are controlling us. 21 degrees right now in philadelphia. Just 14 degrees in allentown. 13 in trenton. 12 in reading and weve improved to 8 degrees in millville, how about that, 16 degrees in wilmington. Not much wind, though, so we dont have to worry about wind chills. As if those temperatures arent cold enough without the wind though, right. 22 degrees by 8 oclock so through the morning rush its still going to be pretty uncomfortable. Noon up to 34 and then by 3 oclock, looks like well be about nine or 10 degrees milder this afternoon than we were in most areas yesterday. Light winds, lots of sun and a high of 40 degrees
