justin, what can you tell us. >> reporter: brooke and joe, good morning. as we mentioned we have one lane of traffic, that you can see traffic trickling south here past that chestnut overpass where this wreck appears to have happened overnight. two and a half hours or so ago. this tractor trailer here we understand apparently lost control, and skidded in the right side wall of the overpass. we have that ladder 16 truck that has back end damage that appears to have within struck as well. it has been towed. work is underway to toe this tractor trailer from this scene as well. but backup here north we have had traffic across all lanes blocked for more than two hours, lots of frustration here on the roadway but the relief has come. we know at least five people were transported to hahnemann hospital. all fire fighters. we understand the condition is stable at this time. now we also have heard of one other transport to jefferson

working to find out who that person is and they are condition as well. this can affect traffic for some time here, lots of frustration here but they are getting relief. traffic is moving south and making progress from what we have seen here overnight. we will keep you updated throughout the morning but i'll toss to meisha watching it in house, meisha. >> we will take from it there. meisha is joining with us a look at these detours around all this mess. justin was giving you a view of what was going on the scene there we are talking about that accident, i-95 south between vine and columbus boulevard. what we are seeing leading up to where justin is, right now it is where it is still block. they are opening up a lane right now. these are vehicles taking the vine. i would still suggest getting on to the vine if you can. it will be very, very slow

trying to squeeze by there on interstate i-95. i can tell you this right now when i came in at 3:00 o'clock in the morning already it was slammed with vehicles. this is a backup shot, all the way back to i-95 at girard moving in the southbound direction. the these backups extend beyond that as you can see almost as far as the eye can sianni it is only 6:00 o'clock in the morning. if you can avoid interstate i-95 you will want to. if you can't, i would probably take the vine until more than one lane is opened, in that area. but right now i want to give you an idea what it looks like at girard and beyond even though they have now opened up one lane there. one drivable lane for all these vehicles. still very slow. take an alternate you will want to i-95 south your best alternate right now take the boulevard southbound to broad street or the schuylkill eastbound it is still your best bet, over to you, katie. >> very difficult situation for commuters this morning.

and to add to that unfortunately we have wet weather that is bringing more nuisance on top of it. it is not a deluge but we have pockets of steadier rain most noteably through new castle county. since our cold front passage that we have been tracking a couple days there is a distinct back edge to this and we could see a shower this is afternoon we are bearing brunt of that front currently. we have to turn our focus to the tropic. remnants of tropical depression number eight north of bermuda but focus on tropical storm hermine and still spinning and churning over northeastern gulf of mexico and that at the this point has a better chance to hug the coast more readily. that will lead to a downhill turn on our holiday weekend. right now we are back in the low to mid 70's regional wide, cooler in the mountains but as the day progresses it will warm up to a value of 84 degrees but it is not as hot as yesterday and it will start to turn gradually less and less humid with a

lingering left over shower in the afternoon. we will call it quote unquote cooler start to the month of september and nice end to the week but we're watching hermine and that will have an impact on our holiday weekend. much more details on that as the show goes on, joe, back to you. police this morning are searching for the person who gunned town a 29 year-old father in west philadelphia. the man's 12 year-old son may have witnessed the shooting, police found victim laying on the steps of the mantua haverford community center on north 39th street just before 10:00 last night. he was shot multiple times and pronounced dead at the hospital. police released surveillance video and it appears victim got in the argument with the man who opened fire. philadelphia police are closing in on the hit and run driver who killed a motorcyclist in feltonville. fifty-eight year-old raul perez was killed when his motorcycle was hit by gmc, this happened tuesday night near whittaker and loudon street in feltonville. victim's girlfriend said he

southbound one lane opened after a tractor trailer crashed with the fire truck overnight. it happened in the southbound lanes just before the columbus boulevard exit. authorities tell thaws fire fighters were on the scene of an accident when a tractor trailer rear ended their ladder truck. five fire fighters were hurt in the crash and we are told they are in stable condition. tropical storm hermine is gaining strength and taking aim at florida's gulf coast. >> people started to leave yesterday as storm brought rain and already some flooding to the area. florida governor rick scott declared emergency and more than 50 counties project to be in the storm's path. hurricane madeline was upgraded to a tropical storm as it hit hawaii. hawaii island public schools were closed in anticipation of the storm. flash flood warnings has been issued on the big island and maui county. people have than encouraged to stay inside. so lets go back to hermine. how are we looking. >> it looks like it will be a downhill turn in terms of the

portions of our weekend forecast, big holiday weekend coming up, so here it is, latest on what is going on. i want to start by backing up to the here and now. we are looking at current frontal boundary where rain and damp conditions are coming from. off shore that bubble of satellite there that you see that is what is remnant moisture from what is left at this point of tropical depression number eight and then hermine sitting and churning over northeast gulf of mexico. the front that is crossing through right now should have been, what was going to nudge hermine out to sea. already moving through. we have lost that window of timing opportunity. so as high pressure takes the place of that, in tandem with the warm water we will have a system that is a weak category one hurricane before downgrading for the the tropical storm. it looks like a post tropical cyclone, but regardless this track is getting a little too close for comfort by the time

we hit the weekend. specifically this sunday. rain and strong wind are possible at that point. for now we have a gray sky. certainly muggy outside middletown ship high school and every where else. rain is still currently falling in a handfull of spots. regardless we have damp roads as we travel this morning. temperature meanwhile hits mid 80's. not as hot as yesterday was. it is less humid. tomorrow and at least portion of the saturday is looking good. tomorrow especially lovely and by the time late saturday and especially sunday hermine is on the horizon or already here bringing in some strong surf dangerous rip currents and certainly some rain and wind as well, meisha. >> all right, katie. we are still tracking this accident on i-95 pushing in the southbound direction. good morning. just waking up with us, what i'm referring to is i-95 south and vine and columbus boulevard, this is leading up to that. all these vehicles are pushed on to the vine because all lanes are still block, about 20 minutes ago we were hearing

reports that one lane was opened, what that was, was one lane was opened for those vehicles that were stuck between where the road closed down. a lot of vehicles had closed around or reversed trying to get out of where they were pinned there to get on the vine. what we were seeing is they were all stuck, only let something people on to the vine and vehicle sitting there for two hours. now they will open one lane to let those vehicles pinned in there through but no one else can get through there. we are dealing with all lanes block. this is a backup, that extent all the way past 95 south at girard and all of these vehicles are heading toward the vine to get on the vine. you can imagine it is getting very busy there. this is another alternate boulevard southbound at broad street and schuylkill eastbound. probably your best betty can tell you that the congestion levels are significant on the vine. we have a lot more coming up, don't go anywhere we will take a quick break cbs-3 "eyewitness news" will be right

three-quarters of the radar covered by some green, some rain is coming down steadily through places like salem county, new castle county and back towards the berks and lancaster county borders there. depending on your location you might get hit right now with a little bit of soaking rain but it is very well defined back edge to that frontal boundary. we have to talk tropics, guys. tropical storm hermine churning over north east coast of mexico. anticipated track is definitely northeast. how close will it hug the coast? this is all of the different models, slapped on to one graphic. we call it spaghetti plot because it looks like noodles of the spaghetti streaming toward the map here. a couple models bring it a little closer to the delaware valley and delaware beaches, new jersey shoreline. so we will be touching much more on that subject, later in the broadcast but for now you'll be running into some steamy conditions. you can see that fog in the distance outside broadheadsville in the live neighborhood network.

pinned in between where that accident was. what you're looking at right now very, very heavy construction leading up to the vine and let me show you a map quickly of alternates. these will be your best bet and back out of the way to see roosevelt boulevard to broad and schuylkill, otherwise aramingo to girard to broad or use schuylkill that way as well. see sensor map how much readies around interstate 95 between the vine and columbus boulevard. that area is still closed. then we have an accident still out there new jersey turnpike northbound before the pennsylvania turnpike that right lane is block. we had another couple accidents out there some of which are starting to clear upright now. another one new jersey turnpike right there and one in flourtown where a pedestrian was struck, this one has also now cleared, brooke, over to you. now an update on that breaking news we have been following all morning. tractor trailer and fire truck crashed on i-95 creating miles of backup. >> one lane gets by after more than three hours, "eyewitness news" reporter justin finch is

their ladder truck ladder number 16 was used parked parallel to that scene. at that point here on i-95 south near chestnut is when that tractor trailer here, crashed into their rear of the fire truck injuring all five of those fire fighters and then again that person who was in the the car, that fire crews were responding to was taken to jefferson at this time and they are all expect to recover in short order. however, as meisha mentioned throughout the morning you'll fine closures heading to i-95 south so make arrangements. we are told by state troopers here on the scene they are working very quickly to get this tractor trailer from the scene and get it away from this location in hopes of getting this area cleared in time for this morning commute. we did hear from fire officials at hahnemann about the condition of the fire fighters and what happened, please take a listen. >> unfortunate for him, just for this reason, who are

taking care of this accident scene provided a buffer between them and traffic and it struck that tractor trailer. >> reporter: perhaps you can see the processing is underway. as you look to your right there we believe that man on the sidewalk there sitting down is indeed the truck driver. we saw him exit the cabin there earlier and he was seen by medic and treated here on the scene. work is underway to get this area fully recovered, fully opened again to traffic, that will take sometime but they are hoping to get this taken care of before, the rush of the morning traffic time. we are live on i-95 south, justin finch for cbs-3 "eyewitness news", back inside to you. turning to sports now tonight will be the final warm up for the eagles before nfl's regular season kicks off next week. >> there are so many questions and concerns about this team and to help clear up some of them, "eyewitness news" reporter pat gallen has a special guest.

nothing has happen as of yet, i think and that you agree they are better off if he's not suspended. >> really issue is not if he is suspended because eagles are anticipate ago this per lane he will be suspended but as you go into cutting roster for 53 players you have to anticipate lane will be with you. you have to keep him on the active roster and prepare for game one next week. word can come down at anytime, eagles don't control that. you have to prepare for both scenarios. >> how about wide receivers, nelson agholor has not been very good. last year was a struggle in his rookie year. he is in line to be a starter. what do you make of him. >> we will see about the starter spot but he is in line to play a lot. he has in the played well. to me it is crisis of confidence. he has not been able to consistently catch the football. sound like it should be easy for a receiver. it has been a struggle for nelson. they are counting on him. he will not play tonight. he will play a ton in the

regular season. he toss get back in feeling good and confident catching the football consistently. no question, wide receivers are an area of scrutiny and they have not perform at a high level here. dario green beckham will be a big part of things tonight and really big part starting next week. >> quickly regular season starts in more than a week what are your thoughts. >> my thoughts it is eight-eight team. there will be close games in the fourth quarter do they convert that first down or score that touchdown or get that take away, do they stay on the field on defense or get off field. eight-eight team to start with if you execute you you can go to ten-six, maybe 11-five. >> we should see. >> jim and brooke, season starts right around the corner. >> wow. happening today, subway riders can ride broad street line for free, mcdonald's is giving away free tokens in honor of tonight's eagles game. >> estimate $5.000 tokens will be distributed at walnut and locust broad street line
