jim and jan. one person was killed in this crash. you can seep them behind me this white sedan mangled as well as an unmarked suv that we now know belongs to a montgomery county sheriff's deputy. a law enforcement source tells "eyewitness news" that this happened after a brief police chase of five teens riding in that white sedan after they allegedly robbed a local business. as you can see a video of the scene, the white sedan is nearly unrecognizable. the windows have been shattered and it is completely crushed. nearby we saw the remains of a street sign that had marked this intersection. a witness tells me that around 5:30 this morning this white hyundai sonata flew through the intersection of west main and hamilton street in norristown and collided with that suv. that witness described seeing both vehicles spinning at least four times before the sedan crashed by this real estate office. the deputy in the suv was not involved in the pursuit and was simply on the way to work

when the sedan hit his vehicle but the deputy is expected to recover. another witness tells me one teen did try to run from the sedan after the crash but was quickly arrested by police. now, at this time norristown police and county detectives are investigating but they are not releasing further information about this crash including the extender of injuries or what led to this collision. again, one person has been killed in this collision between this white sedan and an unmarked montgomery county sheriff's vehicle. we expect to learn more this afternoon and we'll bring you those developments on cbsphilly.com and "eyewitness news" at 5:00 but for now live in norristown anita oh. >> police say a 47-year-old woman in a bmw hit 43-year-old george james when she made an illegal left turn near brewery hill drive. james was rushed to their hospital where he later died. the bmw driver and her passenger were not hurt and they stayed at the scene.

already blowing my hair around and that does mean that we are going to have at least a little bit more of a breeze to work with. any thunderstorms that started to fire up and they did at the same time yesterday and they were drenching downpours, they weren't being pushed through by any nice wind flow to move them along. so i think today those storm cells as they do fire up and they have yet to, i'll say that much, you know, we are likely to see them move through a little bit more swiftly and even they could drench you briefly, it would be just that briefly before they move along. let's take a look at storm scan. at moment there's not much to track yet. i would say give it an hour. things should begin to get under way here but i don't think you're talking widespread coverage of these thunderstorms like we had yesterday. almost everyone ended up seeing something throughout the afternoon and evening yesterday. currently our temperatures they're not too bad. the soups are higher and we'll get more into that later in the show, but it isn't terribly uncomfortable at the moment. low 80's up and down i-95. still only in the mid and upper 70's anywhere from the poconos down to the lehigh

valley but as today progresses, we dollar still flirt with 90's so we're still above average with that high of an expected 89 degrees. other than these isolated showers and thunderstorms along the way all in all this is a pretty nice summer day. now, looking forward, we do have a frontal passage to track that specifically will take place on saturday. but we have one really nice day in this forecast t it's the gem of the seven day so you're going to want to stick around and find out when that is because you will want to make outdoor plans for this day. guys. >> thank you so much katie. in other news this noon the death of a woman found buried in the beach in ocean city, maryland, has been ruled accountable. officials say an autopsy has revealed that ashley o'connor of texas suffocated. authorities aren't sure whether she fell into a hole in the sand or climbed in herself. police say o'connor walked out on the dark beach alone early monday. beachgoers discovered her body when the sun came up. >> well, the young woman who was that found guilty of convincing her boyfriend to

russia's meddling in the 2016 u.s. election. in a facebook post russia's prime minister dmitry medvedev said the sanctions were a full scale trade war. investigators want the phone and e-mail records of everyone involved in a evident mooing between donald trump jr. and a russian lawyer at trump tower last year. republican senator james reese a supporter of the president says e-mails released by trump jr. are not enough. >> i guarantee you there were phone calls in addition to those e-mails and i want to hear all of it. >> reporter: president trump's lawyer originally denied the president helped his son put out a misleading statement about the meeting but earlier this week the white house admitted the president weighed in. mola lenghi for cbs3 "eyewitness news." >> well, coming up on cbs3 "eyewitness news" at noon, another scare at a county fair. >> that's right. this time where a bungee ride malfunctioned and how long one person was hanging in the air before being rescued. >> and there is a new focus on ford explorers used by police.

this after an officer passes out behind the wheel and crashes. we'll tell you what the suv

>> back now on "eyewitness news" with a scare for some thrill seekers at a county fair in ventura california. three people had to be rescuedd from a ban gee ride after it mail functioned. witness say one person was hanging in the air for about 40 minutes. two others were stuck in a

steel cage for more than an hour. firefighters helped get everyone down sale. investigators are working to figure out what went wrong. >> dozens of firefighters battled a blaze at a tokyo fish market. one of the world's largest fish markets and a popular tourist site. 44 fire trucks were brought in to deal with the flames and smoke. the blaze did not, however, affect the inner market where the seafood wholesalers are located. >> ford motor company is looking into why some of their vehicles are leaking carbon monoxide. >> yesterday three massachusetts police officers were hospitalized for carbon monoxide exposure. other departments across the country are voicing similar concerns. correspondent john lawrence has more. >> reporter: there's more reports of carbon monoxide seeping into ford vehicles that includes the galveston police department. they have taken all their ford explorer suv's off the road so the dealer can look for leaks.

>> check all the seals and weather stripping specifically the back hatch door to make sure no exhaust is getting in. >> reporter: the department contacted ford after an officer said he felt lightheaded. something more serious in massachusetts. a police officer in auburn passed out behind the wheel wednesday and hit another car. that officer and at least two others had exposure to carbon monoxide. the department tested its vehicles and took nine out of service. >> going to tighten things up. you know, we have spare cars that we use for road detail work and things like that and those aren't going to be spare cars anymore. >> reporter: fear of carbon monoxide leaks for its other police departments in other areas including austin, texas, to ground some of their suv's. ford issued a statement to all of its dealers that said in part ford's investigation into this issue is ongoing. however, the company has discovered holes in unsealed spaces in the back of some police intercepter fuels that

had police equipment installed after leaving ford's factory. nhtsa says it's investigating 1.3 million ford explorer suv's from 2011 through 2017. john lawrence, cbs3 "eyewitness news." >> well, still ahead on "eyewitness news," who wants to see birds up close? >> nicely, jim. owls. >> okay. >> owls and eagles are the focus of the new exhibits at the philadelphia zoo. get a glimpse of raptor ridge. >> what are you laughing at katie. >> nothing. you really sold that very well. i'm very impressed. you should be doing impressions. >> i really sh should. >> we have a frontal boundary that's going to be crossing through over the course of the weekend specifically saturday morning so we start to clear out quickly on saturday. all in all, it's a salvageable day if you have outdoor plans. sunday looks just awesome. mid 80's, generally the expectation for highs all in all the weekend is looking pretty fantastic. i'm going to track that fronta

>> okay. >> here we go. >> what do you got for us. >> okay, it's not that bad. >> no, i would say -- >> better than yesterday. >> i would agree. absolutely yes. >> still going see some showers. we'll see some thunderstorms and they could locally be drenching but they should move along a lot quicker than they did yesterday. those storms they didn't have any wind to push them through so it was just that straight flat rain coming straight down. the storms got stuck. they ended up bringing major flash flooding into the afternoon and we're actually going to go back in time and take a look at some of the damage done from those storms. yes, there are more storms on the way today which we'll track a little bit more in

detail in a second but let me just go back if time for you here and we'll take a look at what ended up happening yesterday. a couple damage reports did come in for us and this is not an exhaustive list but it does give you an idea of what ended up happening. parts of montgomery county, burlington, mount laurel, there was a structure fire. there were numerous lightning strikes that led to fires yesterday from the storms. out in vineland wires came down and again, it wasn't necessarily due to any wind driven storms but because there was so much rain, the flash flooding helped to bring down a lot of tree limbs and we saw major travel delays as a result of that incredibly blinding rain out of those storms. now, at the moment, all clear. does it stay this way? no. eventually we'll start to see these showers and storms refire and it's primarily just because we're on the back edge of a large dome of high pressure which is out to sea right now so you get that clockwise spin around the high drawing in the warmth, drawing in that high humidity as well so a moisture laden air mass. and that means that anything that bubbles up out there could be drenching.

so, typically summer air masses can hold a heck of a lot more moisture because the warmer the air the more moisture it can hold. 2:00 p.m. on future weather i think we'll start to see some activity even as early as an hour from now but it really just comes through in speckles. we don't all get hit by this but notice verifying location-wise north philadelphia could get slammed with that drenching rain as the typical afternoon and evening rush is getting under way. yeah, this could be a pretty rough commute for some of you depending where you have travels take you. later tonight lauren might have something to track at 11 o'clock tonight on "eyewitness news" but for the most part things will have wound down, it's mainly an afternoon evening issue and then it starts to clear out of here. dewpoints at the moment, remember the higher that dewpoint the more moisture there is to work with, the lower the dewpoint the better the hair day typically. it means nice dry air in place. we don't have that right now. i'll tell you this much though. having been on the sky deck, it's warm but it's not insufferable. it's definitely a little steamy but it's tolerable at

the moment and it is august. you sort of expect this. outside we go to one of our live neighborhood network cameras where the beach is starting to fill up a little bit here outside of beach patrol headquarters in margate one of those beaches that is still opened right now in this area and you've got bright sunshine reflecting off the open ocean water there right now and we'll keep it for the better part of the day i think at the shore. that's one spot where you very likely don't have much wet weather to deal with. showers and storms are for the most place going to take place further inland. bayside it will be warmer than 75. back in the city as we had mentioned earlier in the show 89 is the expectation for a daytime high. that's a little bit above average only a degree or two. showers and thunderstorms continue into the evening but they should wrap up after the sun has gone down or at least into the overnight. we drop down to 71 degrees, warm, muggy a good excuse to have the air conditioner running. we look ahead at the weekend. that's when that front crosses through. early saturday morning, yeah, showers or thunderstorms come through but most of the day

looks pretty good. sunday is that day. that's the one where you really want to make some outdoor plans, get outside while you can because more rain comes along by monday already. easily the pick of that seven day. >> oh, yeah. >> thank you katie. >> you said it. >> a unique exhibit at the philadelphia zoo is showcasing birds of prey. >> that's right. it's called raptor ridge and it features two american bald eagles, glory and ritz also on display are barn owls named tyra and alba. >> who. >> who. zoo employees came up with the concept for raptor ridge. they even helped with the construction. in addition to the beautiful birds there's a 40-foot long mural giving visitors to soar like the were birds in the artwork. >> fly like an eagle. >> match jest
