federal this morning around 4:00. so trans ported to the hospital we have serious injuries but police are not looking for anybody involved. the person driving the car is cooperating this morning. but federal is closed this morning so for more on your traffic situation as you get ready to go to work, let's talk to joel. good morning, joel. >> good morning, so you see this portion of federal, the purple along there showing it's completely shut down. this is really from evans all the way up pastri sheridan if you're accessing on to colfax and 6th avenue, the better option. if you're getting on i-25 you can take sheridan to the west and east. cut over on plat river and access from santa fe. that's going to make a mess for the morning commute. federal is a big highway and a lot of buses traveling along there. buses will see rerauting as

spent months behind bars despite the fact he had a solid alibi. >> my job was to be on the phone all day. i sold mutual funds. >> reporter: he was working for trans america capital and closely monitored throughout the day i knew they would have a recorded conversation because i was on the phone all day. >> reporter: the case was dismissed but months later police arrested him a second time claiming they had new evidence. that too was dropped. tally was never convicted of any crime but the d had already been done. >> they destroyed my life. to go from a financial person to a person that's homeless now. >> he spent 94 days in jail and never ceoed medical attention for his injuries. investigators are still looking for that bank robber. 5:34 on this friday morning. let's get a check on weather and traffic. let's start with dave aguilera. good morning, 7 days away

42 degrees and skies are mostly clear. the system went through yesterday with storms going out east but this morning we're mostly clear in the front range so a lot of sunshine to look forward to later. bus stop forecast if you're waiting for your ride, a lot of sunshine of course it's after 6:00 this morning. we should be close to 50 degrees for most of the morning. later today we are looking at a high temperature of about 72 degrees. just a slight chance of late day not a bad friday. let's see how the traffic situation looks. joel is watching that. >> unfortunately, we have a traffic alert we're following this morning. an auto pedestrian accident and a man was hit and taken with serious injuries to the hospital. this has closed down a portion of federal. looks like the southbound direction at jewell has reopened. you have this purple line in the northbound direction from evans out to florida. if you're trying to access i-25

keep in mind we have mississippi close to the east of santa fe out to broadway while they continue to do repaving work through there. they are pouring concrete and then the whole broadway is a mess south of i-25. take a look at c-470 still doing paving work there so slowing in the southeast bound direction to the north of 285 out to king carol. police on the western slope want to find an armed and dangerous drug dealer. the search for the man led to police raiding the in cliff ton. they busted into a home which had a family with five kids. that's where the dealer want once lived. >> believe me, our officers deputies are extremely committed to accuracy and filing good cases and nobody wants to mac a mistake like that the chief says the grand junction police department will pay for the damages to the home. the birther issue makes

current presidential election. donald trump's campaign put out a statement last night saying he does believe president obama was born in the united states. hena daniels has more. >> reporter: trump's apparent flip flop on the birther issue came after rival hillary clinton blasted his refusal to renounce the idea when he was interviewed by the washington post on wednesday he was asked where was president obama born say hawaii. he still wouldn't say "america". 0 this man wants to be our next president? >>reporter: hours later trump's campaign released a statement pointing the finger at clinton for raising the issue in 2008 when she was running against then candidate, obama. the campaign credited trump for

clinton returns to the campaign trail in north carolina yesterday calling trump out for criticizing a pastor in flint, michigan who stopped him from getting political inside her church. >> he called her a nervous mess. that's not only insulting but dead wrong. >> jobs, remarks on his economic plan in new york, the republican nominee traveled to new hampshire and took clinton to task for calling his supporters deplorables. >> hillary clinton slanders you as deplorables and i redeemable. >> reporter: a cbs news new york times poll has clinton and trump locked in a virtual tie. hena daniels, cbs4 news. following a news conference

it's time now for a check on weather and traffic and dave is here with our friday forecast and a look outside. >> take a look at that, baby. that's the harvest moon on the west side of town from our roof top camera. really beautiful. clear skies with a good view of it. the closest full moon to the equinox which is next thursday is typically the harvest moon so good looking out there. temperature wise this morning it's a system came through yesterday. 45 in boulder. phil curry east franktown has 39 degrees this morning. oh my gosh. it's chilly out there. big thunderstorms with that front that came through yesterday. a pop up in north eastern colorado and out here in burlington 2-inch diameter hail bigger than a golf ball out there. that's rough. but we have cleared out nicely across the state and mostly clear now. what's happening behind this

eastern plains from oklahoma to texas and new mexico severe thunderstorms popping up. this high is coming in for the weekend so our temperature will slowly inch back up. by the time we're done with the weekend we may have a hint of summertime by the time we get to sunday. futurecast now, a couple isolated storms in the mountains and eastern plains here and there but there's a long shot to get measurable moisture out of those. a lot of green on the map and this denver's high should be around 72 so a cool, comfortable day. isolated storms possible this afternoon. 47 the low tonight. 77 tomorrow with isolated storms and the 80s come surging back for sunday, monday, and tuesday. middle 80s with mostly sunny skies. so you have a range of nice weather there. >> yeah, not bad at all.

jamie leary is out there live. an auto pedestrian accident but denver police still in one lane. i'm not sure if there's jewell or federal but we will have an update from jamie that will help you on the commute. for now, it's probably best to avoid the area for a little bit longer along sheridan where you take northbound along south plat river road. when things happen you say hey, maybe i'll take this from now on so that's the silver lining. here we metro area.

more than just muffled sounds. >> can you hear my voice now? >> yeah. >> what about mom's voice? >> yes. [ laughter ] 0. >> that video was made in august. it's gone viral. you can see why. she was born premature at 24 weeks and hasiv moderate to severe hearing loss but that's not the case anymore. she describes hearing her own voice. >> it was weird that i heard my voice. >> what does it sound like? >> it sounds like normal but like a robot. >> she sounds just fine to us. she could get another implant in her right ear depending on her

the brojs will likely get physical with colts quarterback andrew luck on sunday. you can see the game right here on cbs4 and romi is in the house with what to watch out for this weekend at mile high. i read a miller hasn't got his hands on andrew luck so maybe that will happen this weekend let's hope so. for the fifth time the broncos face the colts, more like andrew luck and the colts. the broncos are 1-3 in the previous four meetings and the broncos biggest problem is the same -- beating andrew luck. how tough is it to beat luck? look at last year's team. they sacked luck once but they

lacerated kidney yet the colts still won 27-24. >> one thing about this guy, he's so tough and strong. that's part of his game, sitting there holding the ball until the last second getting it gone. he has a lot of speed. very dangerous from that standpoint when he extends plays it gets difficult. obviously they got it done against this last year and did a good job. >> so what do the broncos need to sunday? well, for starts the defensive backs have to hold their coverages longer because luck holds the ball and he's willing to take punishment to make a place. most quarterbacks aren't about that. because luck isn't afraid to take a hit from the league's feared defenses, the easiest way to keep him from scoring is keep him off the field. so trevor siemian's biggest job in his second nfl start is to

field. last week lions quarterback matt stafford had a field day. he went 31-39 for 340 yards and 3 touchdowns. britt, what this means is trevor siemian could have the opportunity to throw a lot more than the 26 times he did in last week's opener. >> did you feel trevor siemian has fit into the team at this point? there's always growing pains but do you feel like the team is synergetic now? >> absolutely. every game they play and eve chemistry. i was talking to john elway yesterday and he said they knew last year they saw in trevor siemian he could be a leader and it will take more time with the team and they know what kind of person he is and they know he can lead the team. von miller hasn't sacked andrew luck but he mentioned he would like to do this. can the team get him there?

they hit him a bunch. von miller wants it this year and he's in better shape and looks at every game like it's his best. >> how are we on the injury front? everybody okay? >> i'm so glad you asked. thomas did hurt his hip in the carolina game. a couple days ago i would have said i'm not sure if he was ready to go. he looked like he was really sore but yesterday he looked more comfortable and looks i think he will be fine. thomas should be good to go. >> thank you so much. you can watch that game right here on cbs4. kickoff at 2:25. hear more from romi on denver sports 760.

great looking morning out there. 49 degrees downtown. our weather watchers are mostly in the 50s and 40s and 30s. north westminster, our weather watcher there, thanks for getting up early. futurecast today starting out with sunshine little blips there. isolated thunderstorms in the forecast about a 10% chance or less for most areas. it's dry for most of us. 72 in fort collins today. 71 in boulder and castle rock and denver should be 72. so the 70s coming back this friday. joel, i know you love the 70s i love the 70s. i like the 80s as well. this is federal and jewell. this is what i like. all the flashing lights have

[ applause ] 0. >> i don't want to know his secret for getting that volume. after the show trump fixed his hair and headed to a rally in new hampshire. if you're just waking up, it's 49 degrees in denver. we have the friday forecast. plus a car hits a person closing federal and jewell this morning. what will happen next.
