Ben franklin bridge we are checking that as well, hardly any traffic on the schuylkill, same story, for the benny, and phillies do play the braves at 4 05. So expect traffic anytime after 3 00 oclock to be pretty heavy around the stadium area tonight, guys. Sue, were following breaking news out of Burlington County where a person is dead after being hit by a tractor trailer on 295. Steve keeley is there with the very latest, steve . Reporter well, in one knows why anyone would be walking on 295 to begin with. You have the news part of the story. That is Something Police will release later on this morning. Traffic part isnt such a big story because it is fourth of july. But still there are people driving and you can see the main road that is affected is route 73. Do you see this traffic coming at you, this tanker truck and all these cars, thinks 295 northbound traffic being forced off on to route 73, right by the hotel ml. A all this traffic that would be normally going towards new york and point north is being forced in to mount laurel. They have no idea where they are going once they get off. You can see police in the background that is stopping traffic down there from getting on. Then across the median they have cones set up so no one can get on northbound on this side going toward trenton. So we are do people go . They are forced all the way down to maple shade and moorestown that way and being forced in to mount laurel, this way, a and then it is every man and driver for himself. A lot of these tanker trucks, coming into your shot, these people are from out of state, out of town and hopefully everybody has gps and figure out where to go but one of the alternate routes, fortunately right where this is, youve got as we pan around again, right beyond that light at fellowship road is, conveniently where that tanker truck is putting on his right turn signal that is north bound new jersey turnpike. You have an alternate route that runs parallel, side by side with 295 northbound from here. It is not that bad for people want to go to new york city or north jersey or anywhere points north, even trenton you can go on the new jersey turnpike. You have to pay a toll and hopefully everybody has ez pass and is there a state trooper flying by. There will be a lot of traffic troubles but not lot of traffic because it is fourth of july. What we will do is break this live shot down, go up to mount laurel road and give you a closer live picture of the scene and try to figure out what is going on up there. Apparently a tractor trailer for some reason hit a pedestrian. Whether it was someone broken down, who necessary but we will try to get that answer as the traffic answer all morning, chris and lauren. Steve, thanks for husseling for that report. 5 35. Backyard party end with a deadly shooting of a teenage inner grays ferry. It was a scene on the 1800 block of south, 31st street.

Now the victim has serious injuries and is right now in surgery at einstein hospital. People get more information on this abe pass it to you when we get it in. A developing story involving septas Regional Railcars. 120 out of service, that is really tough commute for people who have to get back and forth onto work tomorrow. Lets get out to dave kinchen with new details, hi there dave. Reporter on this Independence Day you may be independent from septa, today but if you depend on it starting your back to work commute tomorrow, well, you will deal with delays and likely crowded conditions. If you rely on Regional Rail because septa officials pulled onethird of the Regional Rail fleet when they stopped running the silver liner five cars for inspections and they found they needed emergency repairs. About 120 cars as you mentioned there. Transit Authority Officials say their engineered found a crack in the beams of the korean made train cars after noticing one was lean on the side. They say 95 percent of the silver liner five have been inspect and that had the problem. Only five to not. Officials say those cars were pulled to prevent a potential disaster. It is with an abundance of caution and according with federal Railroad Administration requirements that all silver lines cars with cracks will remain out of service until the appropriate actions can be accomplished. I will figure something out. Im trying not to think bit right now. Im gist trying to enjoy my holiday off and then ill worry about it afterwards. It is a inconvenience but hopefully they can get the Problem Solved quickly. I will get the another ride to work. I will use the bus. But if it is for safety of me and other people, then it is worth it. Im happen that i septa saw it and you know they can get it done. Reporter septa has a work around plan like adding more park ago long broad street and the market frankford line and they are activating their Severe Weather schedule on wilmington newark lane which reduces peak Time Services throughout the delaware stations, all four stations. Keep in mind septas spent millions of dollars to start rolling out those trains. Now they are having this problem with these cars i should say. Septa also says that you should plan more time, to get to work or where ever you are going. If you work from home that might not be a bad idea just to take all summer to fix this problem. Back to you guys. Thanks, so much dave.

Looking at what is happening this morning we have a warm front heading toward us unfortunately a arriving just in time for fire works tonight. High pressure in control over the weekend is moving, further off shore, so this is the weather maker, giving us rain on the way. When will it arrive . Well, it is in some places it is here. Little line from Chester County through into New Castle County you may see light sprinkles this morning. For some have of us we are seeing some sunshine burning through the clouds, so as we look at this line, and it extend into Cumberland County, in new jersey as well. So, it is very hit or miss with these showers that we will get for the rest of the day. I think we will have a dry period late morning through very early afternoon, but as we time this out with the future cast here we are at 10 00 oclock with mostly cloudy skies around and until about noon time or so, a and then we will see some rain rolling in around 3 00 oclock again, hit or miss showers, throughout the day, throughout the evening, and throughout the time that we expect fire works to start. Now as the a art museum around the pardoning way will be at 10 00 oclock a lot of the communities will have their fire works earlier then that with the sunsetting around eight or 8 30 for most of us tonight. And then rain continues through the night time hours tonight. Average high is 87. That is where we were on friday. Holiday weekend looks great with a High Pressure in control and 78 degrees with low humidity yesterday. Today we will bring humidity back with a high of 80. And then the heat really comes back tuesday, wednesday, thursday, by friday we are probably going to have our second heat wave of the season, it could even extent into saturday. But by sunday things should hopefully dry out a little bit. Checking in those shore temperatures for you it does look like we will be in the 80s to i day, upper 70s tomorrow and wednesday, that is your seven day forecast. Time to check traffic on your holiday morning. Traditionally there isnt much going on traffic wise as we can see here on route 202 at the schuykill expressway. Count the cars on one hand right there. Checking route 42 in new jersey, a few cars here and there but everything is moving smoothly. The problem we have in new jersey and you have been hearing bit with steve keeley is around mount laurel, 295, that faith willal accident northbound, at all lanes closed at route 73, so everybody is going northbound on 295 forced to get off the road at route 73. Also, there is a fourth of july parade scheduled for today, it is bala cynwyd and starts at 9 00 on montgomery avenue and marches down through the bala akin wood playground is the ending point there we will get that one in this morning, lauren and chris.
