collided with the delegate's boat. the boat sank to the bottom of the river but you can see the damage o that boat which was pulling one of those rafts with several children on it. when that crash happened. witnesses said they saw the delegate's boat turn into the path of the other boat. they believe the crash was the delegate's fault. that's something the police are investigating. here is what the delegate had to say. >> clearly in condition to give a press conference but due to the seriousness of the accident that i was involved in yesterday i felt that it was necessary for me to make a brief statement. it is true i was drinking while operating my boat yesterday. it's also been reported that my blood alcohol content was .2. nobody, nobody, nobody should be drinking and operating a motor vehicle or a powerboat.

i deeply regret my actions and ask for forgiveness from the public. my heart and prayers go out to the families involved in th incident. >> reporter: all the people injured in the crash including him are expected to recover. he said had was .2, we had said it was 2.0. we said that incorrectly. . .2 is what he has said. the recommend limit is .08 just like driving a caruso he was more than two times the legal limit at the time of the crash. the delegate admitting he was drinking before the boat crash that happened last night.

common approximate. while the number fell in 2011, the number of deaths went up. last year was the worst on the water. last year we had 24 boating deaths. this year there have only been seven. . csb said train traffic will resume along the east west line but the clean up in ellicott is still conditioning. >> reporter: the rail line may be open, the main street up under the bridge is still closed. there is a lot to clean up and repair before the roadway can

reopen. it's a test run to see if the csx track that runs through the heart of ellicott can handle the load. an 80 car train of new autos went through without a hitch. now it's continuing the clean up. coal stains everything, the curbs black, the roads, and it's piled up on the side of the track. >> it's chewed up the roads, lot of sidewalks and curb and gutter damage and damage to the traffic light. we fled to make sure its left as good if not better than before they crashed the train. >> reporter: this is the first look at the bridge itself, engineers were afraid that it was damaged but it was found to be sound. underneath its dammed off and giant vacuums sucking up contaminated water. they were relatively lucky. only about a half of one coal

car fell close to the water and about a hundred pounds went into the creek. the coal is low sulfur so any damage is expected to be light. the other issue is coal dust. >> only real concern in this incident is with the first responders. there is no -- serious, serious risk for residents obviously, they were fairly faraway from the incident. >> reporter: now this point the state department of environment said it'll continue to monitor the creek and the clean up around the area. they say in the long term they want new trees and other grounds cover planted there to hold any coal in the ground and they want to keep that in place. >> thank you. a fellowship fund has been

. saturday off with a look at conditions outside. not a bad day at all.

we will have the bright sun throughout the afternoon. now gearing up for down down. the weather the will hold up nicely for the game. 84 right now. upper 70's by the last proper -- bottom part of the -- not bottom but the last part of the 4th quarter. mixes up, watching to much orioles this year. sun on tap today that. was the story and there we go. the bottom of the 4th quarter. this doesn't sound right. end of the 4th quarter may be in the 70s. today was a beautiful day. what a day for the midshipmen to be out doing sailing. belaire, great blue skies, few puffy clouds at times, absolutely no precipitation. dry at the beach. i wish i could say this will hold up. chance for hit and miss showers in ocean city. up through the delaware beaches. hit and miss showers will be possible. better chance for the south but we will have to keep that in.

temperature wise state wise. 70s to 80s. always a little cooler and mido's. because of the humidity feels more like the upper 08's of heat index value and the mid to upper 80's right now. all right. here is the overall set up. with we have more humid conditions from baltimore south and east. bit a flow off the atlantic. unsettled weather along the immediate midatlantic coast especially south of virginia down into the carolina's. this will be the potential weather michener to the weekend here. developing coastal system off the carolina's. now the projection going to keep it just off shore and maybe we don't see any rain anywhere in maryland but we showers in because the movement of the system could come in close enough to spin showers into the eastern shore and especially the beaches, at least on the on and off basis. we aren't talking a heavy steady rain but hit and miss. mere is the trend.

high pressure holds but then this coastal low and off the carolina's. some of the showers could wrap in to the beaches, wrap into the areas especially east of the bay. western maryland we will try to keep it warm and sunny. and for central maryland it's a crap shoot. eastern maryland more likely to see showers, isaac, churning and burning through the sea now moving south of the haiti area. in the next 12 hours overnight and then toward cuba. right now the projection below hurricane strength, it's not become a hurricane yet. you watch a lot of the national media and start to think panic is a good idea it's not. it's not been a hurricane and will likely not be one until it gets in to the florida straights early next week. by then it may be so far out it won't have a big impact. we will see. joyce also a named system that. one likely to only impact

bermuda. that united states threat a long way off. tonight 64, partly cloudy with patchy late fog and tomorrow we will say 87, sun and clouds, late shower, possible south and east maryland. the lower eastern shore. seven day forecast we will keep the chance for a shower in there saturday and sunday. into early next week we dry it out and keep it sunny on monday. again, not a lot of rain around baltimore west this weekend but there could be showers for the eastern shore. kelley? >> in news around the nation today penn state's former president said he didn't kn that sandusky was a molester and he didn't protect him. he said he is the innocent victim of a witch hunt and wasn't correctly shown in the free report. a former fbi direct war as hired to investigate the standard and he claimed that the president and paterno and

others concealed the allegations. sandusky is a waiting sentencing. tropical storm isaac already starting flooding parts of the island may be in for more. it's slowing which means it may be kept overland. it is expected to be a category one by tomorrow. and as the storm moves closer to florida there is conc breakfast in the future. we are already seeing impact on orange juice prices. according to the wall street journal it doesn't look like significant damage. today a one year anniversary of the east coast quake. we are still dealing the damage. the repairs are still being done at the washington

monument. today is casey anthony's last day on probation. she plans to stay in florida and live at the same house where she is right now. she was acquitted in the murder of her daughter. we will have more news and weather coming up after the break.

it's sheered a part a little. south of haiti. we will see what happens with it. here is the current projection from the national hurricane center. going to bring it up over cuba or probably weaken more and then strengthen to a category one off florida coast. this will mean probably rain and maybe some gusty winds for the republican convention but that will not be a major weather event if that track holds up. 72 late tonight. 60 when you wake up. the outlook, we throw in the chance for showers mainly to the east of the chesapeake. could see showers, especially on saturday, that is -- the outlook. the temperatures are a little cooler for the weekend. >> yeah. we will be back tonight at 11:00. jamie will be back from the game. we will see you at 11:00. thank you for joining us and have a great evening. >> go ravens even though it's pre-season. i know, it still counts. wççñçñ
