opens. so, that would clearly have cents the porcelain plates crashing to their demise. people all over social media are trying to solve this one even the philadelphia police department sent out a plea saying they don't have the answer but, "it should be a crime to haphazardly stack such lovely table wear." social media climbing in with solutions sump as tilt the cupboard backwards and then open it. that might have worked. break a pane of glass and get them out that way, right, so instead of trying to open the door just kind of go in through one of the side ones. one of the other comments, leave it for your grandchildren to deal with or save it as a future do your refor -- dowr for your daughter. and then this throw the cupboard into the pool and the dishes will float. guess what, they did get these dishes out and here's how. they opened one door just a little bit and then used another hand to catch all of the plates, all of them were safe. not a broken one. pretty impressive. >> that was my first thought just crack it a bit get down there way pillow. >> not so hard after all. >> they should have called you sharrie. >> next time people. >> always there with a solution. alicia thanks you. let's get another check of the roads rider now. >> matt standing by with the update for us on a friday. >> afraid we might have broken glass in delaware. this is on 95 because of a crash northbound side brian and sharrie at 141. two right lanes are blocked because of the accident. and you see we're being treated to just 5 miles per hour as a result of those two right lanes being blocked. there's also a southbound gaper delay that's pretty extensive already. the whole way from 202 the concorde if i can down to 141 as you head through the marsh there. plenty of red zones along 95 in delaware, plenty of them as well on 95 on the big picture. just 10 miles per hour there on the northbound side by girard avenue, 13 on the southbound side by cottman avenue and of course we done watch that crash involving the child in overbrook at 63rd and lansdowne, 63rd is blocked. stick with 61st instead. crash on the blue route 476 southbound at the route one media bypass is gone. of course delays are not. and here's a new crash in fort washington. this is 309 southbound side right under the pennsylvania turnpike. check out how badly damaged that car is there in the right lane. so, it is causing some delays as you head down towards flourtown. also delays headed toward 309 and the lehigh valley because of a wreck on 22 eastbound but our crash on 202 in west chester involving the motorcycle southbound at high street is gone. still slow there. elsewhere in chester county a crash along 41 gap newport pike. delays are as well. we'll check it again brian and

beautiful saturday is on tap. temperatures once again upper 60's to near 70's degrees. low 60's at the shore. incredibly warm with a lot of sunshine. but then we'll be tracking a front that very strong front with showers late in the day. 4:30 still sunny most of the area but here comes that wall of not only clouds but some showers, rain overspreads the region late tomorrow evening, tomorrow night mixing maybe with some wet snow up in the poconos and as we get into sunday that system's gone. the winds whip up. at least it's dry for most of your sunday with a mix of sun and clouds, maybe a couple of snow showers far in those northwestern suburbs. association winds gusting between 40 and 45 miles per hour here on sunday. morning wind chills only in the upper 20's, a day after hitting 70

heard a bunch of people screaming and hollering so i came outside to put something in the trash and that's when i saw a line of ambulances and people were crying and stuff and then i saw somebody
