Right now we are dealing with the very serious accident on i95 in the southbound direction and lets get outside and get to it. You can tell behind me there is congestion to go with it. Looks to be, do you see this is how quickly traffic can change. We earlier had at least four emergency teams on the scene of an incident. It does finally look like southbound side of i95 accident has been cleared. That means traffic can at least start moving around girard avenue. So, all right definitely a piece of good news, nice. Lets keep it going north bound no delays here. Just know southbound i95 has to recover from that residual traffic. 5 06. Still early for rush hour. I think we will push that residual traffic out of the way but we will see how it turns out. I anticipate minor slow downs into downtown philadelphia if that is where you are headed right now.

Ill work with harrisburg to change that. But if they refuse ill take them to federal court. As mayor ill do whats right for them. Nfl report of deflate gate stopped short of tom brady a cheater. Lets check with Eyewitness News reporter nicole brewer. She has more. Good morning,. Good morning guys. It is 243 page report which says super bowl champion patriots deliberately deflated balls used in the afc championship game and their star Quarterback Tom Brady was generally aware of it. The investigation that was ordered by nfl said it the is more probable than not that the teams locker Room Attendant and equipment assistant released air from game balls after being examined by the referee. The report, also uncovered Text Messages between those two employees in which they talk about blade is unhappen upness with the inflation level. Other include talk of cash, free shoes and autographs. Back before the the win tom brady was confronted and insisted he is no cheater. I dont believe so. I would never do anything to break the rules. I didnt have any, i didnto alter the the ball in anyway. I dont want anyone rubbing them putting any air in, taking any air out. I have no knowledge of anything. I have no knowledge of any wrongdoing. Patriots owner robert kraft has said the team will accept findings of that report but in a statement he added quote to say we are disappointed in its findings which do not include any hard evidence of deliberate deflation of footballs at the afc championship game, would be a gross under statement. We should mention that in other players or staff members, including coach belichick were involved according to this report which is expect to bring penalties against the team. And it should. And of course, tom brady. I thought it was interesting tom brady refused to hand over his cell phone. He wasnt required to. But he refused. If everything was cool, here you go. Maybe. Just putting it out there. That is right. Thanks, appreciate it. In an off season filled with surprises there is a i new bomb shell with the bird, former eagles running back shady mccoy is ruffling feathers at comments that coach chip kelly has a problem coaching africanamerican players. Shady told espn magazine, do you see how fast he got rid of the all of the good black players snow got rid of them the fastest. That is the truth. There is a reason. It is hard to explain with him but is there a reason he got rid of the all of the black players, the the good ones like that. I think it is unfortunate for shady that when asked this question he didnt take the high road and wished eagles and chip kelly well in their future endeavors and talk about how happy he is about being a buffalo bill. That is the route i wish he had gone. We will be seeing more of shady and buffalo bills. They play eagles december 13th in a game you can see right here on cbs3. Just a note, mark your calendars. Our time 5 13. Receipts get traffic and weather together with katie. Good morning another pretty stellar day overall expecting to see more sunshine than anything. High pressure regaining control yet again and we end up with a nice warm day whats more, if you have outdoor players, they are a go. Lets go first to storm scan three. It isnt a heck of a lot. We have clouds moving from north to south here and as we continue to track High Pressure and still leads to nice weather to wrap up the week. Is there a storm system starting to show more organization here, now and because it has been setting up shop and somewhat gestationry off of the carolina coastline here, it is going to potentially gather some tropical characteristics. In the next 24 up to 48 hours the National Hurricane center may intervene and actually upgrade this to a depression and a name system. We have to keep an eye on that. First name on the list for atlantic Hurricane Season would be ana but we are early june 1 is when Hurricane Season officially begins but we have even this happen in the month of may before.
