Shockingly august 19th, 2016. So we have breaking news on this friday because were off to a really bad start out of glasgow, delaware this morning. Steve . Reporter mike, were getting a little will bit of daylight and you can clearly see how bad this crash was around 2 00 a. M. Around four hours ago. This may have been four people total hurt, two adults and a six yearold in the pick up, one male adult driver that maryland tractor trailer, where you can see the front even. Chris, walk over there, stay on the road safely. Part of the road is opened but now with daylight i just walk over there and you can see front end, windshield where driver is is mashed but initial report is that this driver was not conscious or not awake during the impact and impact certainly woke him up and he had no idea what happened. The initial thought is this could be another case of Drowsy Driving. I was checking with triple a and Drowsy Driving result in 800 traffic fatalities a year 7 percent of all crashes and 16 and a half percent of all fatal accidents caused wye drowsy driver, somehow this is not a fatal accident but when he hit that truck across the other side of the intersection this family looks like they were on vacation either heading to or heading from. Chris, come back to me. All of the debris here. Silverware, there is shopping bags, from Outlet Stores and a lot of coolers that you would bring if you were having a day at the beach with your six yearold child. This six yearold third degree burns. In earningsly taken to du pont but instant flown to crozerchester where they have a terrific burn june that it save lives. Look at that issuing will will where would you put gas if you were driving one of the pickup trucks. It is in, right there in the impact crash you cane circle clearly and just what our floor director at fox 29 said the gas tank right behind the passenger seat behind the driver seat where this six yearold was strapped in. When this thing burns you see fire stinkisher on the island behind the debris this thing is on fire and you are strapped in good. That is why they are in child restrain seats to survive an impact. Problem is when that impact results from the fire then you struggle to get strapped off and get child out. The these adults have burns on their hand. The passerby state trooper, everybody trying to put fire out trying to get the six yearold out. Look at the rear tire behind the driver. Look at how smash up it is and how bad it is. It is amazing that the whole family survived this. Let me show you for the first time this is a red light camera intersection is. We will spin to the left. There are likely still picture of when both vehicles went through the red light because pickup truck likely stopped, then got pushed through so that set off light camera ape tractor trailer going through so troopers here doing the up investigation right now and bob kelly, take ate way with the traffic situation because this is a very confusing situation with all these highways all merging here. That is a busy intersection. That is one of the busiest intersections we are looking right there, stay with the camera there that is route 40 and route 896. That tractor trailer was traveling north on 896 when it came to the intersection, obviously made impact with the back of that pick up, that was stopped at the red light when it was hit from behind by that tractor trailer and there it sits on the center median. Lets go to my maps here heading through this stretch again route 40 known as pulaski highway and then route 896 through that area also known as college avenue. That tractor trailer was going north help it collided at the intersection, bottom line thoughts and prayers for family, especially little guy who is six years old with third degree burns. Your Old Baltimore pike or route 72 is your best bet. Heres another accident scene we are dealing with eastbound schuylkill expressway only one lane opened because of an accident involving an overturn reek will at Spring Garden street. Our own jen fred was right behind the vehicle when it got flipped over. Luckily shes okay, visibly shaken as is the driver of that reek will but he was able to get out of the car. They are in the process of clearing everything up but eastbound schuylkill expressway down to one lane as you can sianni that is right at center city interchange. If you are leaving conshohocken, city avenue coming in the city, scott the best betties kelly or Martin Luther king drive. We are looking good. Lets talk about good news. Better weather. Heat wave is over. Weather by the numbers on this friday scale of one to ten we will give it a nine. Best number we have had all week. Lets talk about what is happening right now. Hazy and humid to tart buzz heat wave is over. It ended yesterday with highs in the upper 80es to near 90 today, terms for part of the weekend. We saw scattered showers and downpours late last night rolling through philadelphia into parts of the south jersey, that activity is out of here. 74 degrees right now. Humidity 82 percent.

James feeling an one of the american whimmers involve in the robbery scandal will pay nearly 11,000 and then he can leave. Heres some cash im out. That is according to his attorney. Authorities in brazil now indicted both this guy feeling an and ryan lochte. It is for falsely reporting a crime im reading feigens payment will go toward some sort of charity in brazil in light of all of this controversy here fey again had been the only member left in brazil facing falsely reporting a crime. This is as u. S. Olympic committee apologized for a distracting incident that is clearly over shadowing the overall olympics itself. Of course, ryan lochte is known for grabbing headlines even on good day philadelphia, as mike had said, star gold medal swimmer now star of the international incident. He is back in the u. S. After being indicted in brazil. New Surveillance Video from a rio gas station appears to back it up that there was indeed no robbery as athletes claimed that showed lochte and others outside the gas station early sunday morning at the exact same time they had said they were robbed. Police say they were drunk, disorderly vandals and ripped apart a rest room there Security Guard pulled out the gun until they pay for damage. We asked villanova professor what it all means. Does this put the icing on the cake, the claim that their police, 85,000 Strong Police presence, in rio but here you maybe had some police, official part of the state being corrupt and exextorting money. Young guy go to jail for lying but he lied about somebody robbing him in rio and it is a big commotion about nothing. Something has to happen.

Yesterday in new york city she met with Law Enforcement officials from all over the country including two from right here. Former Philadelphia Police commissioner Charles Ramsey and Camden County police chief jay Scott Thompson were among the officials who met with Hillary Clinton. Some are saying the meeting was in response to donald trump attempt to paint himself as the only law and order candidate. I believe supporting our Police Officers and improving policing, go hand and hand. Donald trump is accusing Hillary Clinton of being against the police in her support of the black lives hatter movement. Those pedaling the narrative as cops as a racist force in our society a narrative supportive with a not by my opponent shared directly in the responsibility for the unrest in milwaukee, and many other places within our country. After meeting with clinton, retiring new york Police Commissioner bill bratton said a Trump Presidency scared him. Earl are chief bratton said trump gave him pause. Meanwhile, new poll says clinton is slightly ahead of poll, the poll from the pew says shes leading by 4 percent but americans dont think either candidate would make a great president. 55 percent of the registered voters say trump would be poor or terrible president. 45 percent said the same thing about clinton. Wow. So last night, was one of the philadelphias, well, bigger events over the last five years. It is becoming bigger and bigger every year. We decided to join in. We sure did. We dressed in white for the annual, you dont like the way i say it. It is diner en blanc. Diner en blanc. You dress up in white and go eat that is all it is. You dance, is there other things. More than 4,000 diners came to the parkway. Secret location every year they reveal, on the art museum steps, and on to the parkway. It is a different location every year. Well, it was pretty darn impressive ill tell thaw. Heres the thing, but you they have competition in mayfair resident attended a more casual party called dinner in pajama pants. We make sure were balanced and fair. Sure. We were at both parties. It felt vip a little bit. You get to be right in front of the art museum, rarely do you do that.

Dinner in pajama pants i will go to that next year. Do you like that. I like that even better. Do you have some cookie monster pajama pants. I dont have pajamas. How do you sleep . Never mind. It is all about the bird as second preseason game, down in the books, eagles pick off four passes, they have four sacks dominating the steelers. Lot roy numbers. Good morning im sean bell. Eagles first preseason game certainly went better than most, mainly because they got out with no big injuries. No land carroll was star of this one, this interception and he is going straight to the house. Carroll showing the world he is bank from that ankle surgery. We will get to later in the third barner time. List then guy does it in the preseason but we need him to do it in the regular season. 5yard touchdown right there. And eagles get another win, blanking the steelers 17 to nothing. The phillies and dodgers ryan howard is red hot batting. 385 his last 13 at bats. Look at that one a dead center solo shot, given the phillies the lead. Into the seventh now down a run Miguel Franco hits on almost the exact same spot 200 blast, giving phillies the lead and the win, they avoid the sweep. That is sports in a minute. Im sean bell.

We will talk about that plus your entire weekend forecast because some showers and thunderstorms, could move in for part of the weekend. Steve keeley . Reporter scott, down here in delaware weather has been eclipsed in the lead story category by this awful traffic accident. You can see the state trooper over there checking out that tractor trailer from nearby baltimore that rear ended this pickup truck from new jersey where a six yearold boy in the fiery back seat and bob kelly, Pay Attention this tractor trailer tow truck type is just arriving on the scene so that could be updating your situation as well when we come right back. Im Hillary Clinton, and i approve this message. Michael hayden if he governs consistent with some of the things he said as a candidate, i would be very frightened. Gillian turner hes been talking about the option of using a Nuclear Weapon against our western european allies. Max boot this is not somebody who should be handed the Nuclear Codes. Charles krauthammer you have to ask yourself, do i want a person of that temperament controlling the Nuclear Codes . And as of now, id have to say no. [bill oreilly sighs] it looks like they have pulled a tow truck up now to remove some of these vehicles involved in a horrible crash. There was a child rescued, after a accident involved in that tractor trailer. Tow truck is on the scene now. Family of four in that pick up. They all survived . Who . I do not the know. Sometimes you take actions that you later regret. Vandals or victims . Rye april lochte is no where to be found as he faces charges in brazil how development in rio could affect his career. Shotgun, thrown pick up. The eagles pick off four passes, they had four sacks, shut out the steelers over there, at heinz field. Good day everybody it is friday august 19th, 2016. Should we get right back to that accident, because the tow truck is trying to cleaning this things right up. I realize people are just turning on and waking up at 6 30. This accident happened at 2 00. Initial report were four people were hurt. Mike, i think maybe i was saying four people in this truck. This might be one parents and six yearold in the back seat which is a child restraint seat. Sad parties child is closest to the impact and over the gas tank. You can see the hole where you put the gas, behind the driver side door there and passenger. This is an extended cab so it is a car and pick up. You do not even see bed of the pick up. This truck sitting up on the rhode island in the median and tractor trailer ended up in the opposite direction across that island, that is why they want it towed out of there. That is people making left from i96 south. They are doing quick work with the tow truck but this is a major intersection. To the yellow flashing transportation truck
