this story. you see all the emergency workers right on i-95 with this overturned tractor-trailer. happened at 3:30 this morning. what we can see is restrictions on both sides of the highway. this is i-95 in bridesburg right at bridge street and we can see the southbound traffic trying to head towards center city. you're dealing with this one, it's a mess on both sides of the highway. not only do we have a trash all over the roadway but we also have 75 gallons of fuel that spilled out. penndot is on the scene right now. they're trying to lay down now. this mess and the fuel spill that's affecting traffic both sides of i-95 here at bridge street. we've got three lanes blocked southbound. it flipped over into the northbound. we've got a few lanes it looks like the two left lanes blocked northbound as well. stick to frankford avenue or route 1, the roosevelt boulevard instead. i-95 a messy situation even though the accident happened at 3:30. we have so much cleanup to do and we're live right there on the scene with the action cam and you can get a different vantage point of this and you can see that it's completely

flipped over at this side this tractor-trailer. we see some of the debris that's all over the highway and certainly from this viewpoint you also get an idea of the number of emergency workers blocking those two left lanes northbound as well. so you are affected northbound and southbound because volume is light, we are seeing traffic getting by at this point. the trouble is what happens when this is out there in the busy morning commute? we have to see how quickly they can deal with a very messy situation. we'll be on top of it all morning, matt, tam and david. >> karen thanks so much. so. >> gapers delay on the way too. >> some places in the 40's right now. >> yeah. we talked about this yesterday. it was kind of mild yesterday morning but we have dipped into the 40's in allentown an lot of those outlying neighborhoods. storm tracker 6 live double scan shows you we're dry for the morning commute so that's g taking a look outside and plenty of sun emerging up over the horizon later on this morning over the ben franklin bridge. you might find it's a little bit cloudier down the shore this morning but in philadelphia it should be fairly bright fairly quickly. taking a look at the

temperature we're at 52 degrees in philadelphia, so not quite as bad in the city and i'm bringing in that always on seven day for those of you watching in hd so you can glance ahead. dewpoint is low so the air is dry. winds not as breezy and strong as they were yesterday, only 3 miles per hour this morning. satellite shows you how there is that cloud cover down to the south but not a whole lot going on from philadelphia west and again a bright start so get the shades ready. it's going to be similar today as to what it was yesterday temperature-wise. 54 degrees by 8 o'clock, that's a little cooler. 61 by each clock but in the afternoon 67 degrees by 2:00, a high of 71 around three or 3:30 and then still holding onto something around 70 by 5 o'clock. high temperatures across the region pretty even outside of the shore. 70 in allentown, 70 in trenton to go with that 71 in philadelphia. 70 in wilmington. mid to upper 60's from cape may up to millville and over towards dover delaware. tomorrow we have an area of low pressure that we talked about that was going to bring us some clouds through midweek. it now looks like that low is

going to track close enough to us where we could actually get some rain out of that and the beginning of this will be late in the day on wednesday or wednesday evening. the latest future tracker 6 model shows it's mostly at night on wednesday that this starts to barrel up from the south as that low scoots past us. unfortunately it looks like overnight and into thursday morning we're also going to see some rain, some of it could be heavy at times and we may actually not get rid of that until thursday afternoon, so midweek rain now moving up from the south into the forecast. your exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast shows 71 for a pleasant high today, not as much wind as yesterday. sun giving way to clouds on wednesday, 75 and by wednesday night there could be some rain. and we get into thursday and it's cloudy and damp at times with periods of rain and we'll see how far of an advance it can make but the models right now suggesting that just about all of us could at least see some showers. 66 is the thursday high now, we're dropping it because of the clouds and the rain. but we do bounce back to 74 with sunshine returning on friday. and then we're still looking at that warmup as we head into

the weekend. it now looks like low 80's for both saturday and sunday and then monday 79 with more clouds building in and then probably some more rain by about tuesday of next week, okay? >> okay, thanks, david. >> yeah. >> new on "action news" here, fellow passengers had to pull an irate woman off of a public bus in los angeles. they saw the 64 year old attack the driver for some unknown reason and she would not stop until witnesses dragged her away. police arrested the angry rider, the bus driver was not seriously hurt. >> flew this morning the new miss america who made the fight against domestic violence the cornerstone of her platform was bootd from her college last year for the abusive hazing of pledges. a report surfaced other web site jezebel claiming that keira kazmierczak was kicked out of the sorority at hofstra university. report states she called recruits foul names berated them for physical imperfections and forced them
