she was struggling. she was screaming for help but the man forced her into the car and she hasn't been seen since. the audio from the surveillance hasn't been released but police say it indicates that she does not know her attacker. her father just wants her home. >> she's a smart young lady, like i said, never caused me any problems, anything like that. like i said, she was going to work and coming home and just being herself. so, again, i don't see her getting into any trouble or anything like that so i don't understand why somebody would do this to her. >> reporter: and she managed to kick out the car's rear windows on the driver's side and police say the suspect was driving a 2000-2004 dark gray metallic ford taurus that has an unknown pennsylvania tag and missing inspection sixers. we have that surveillance footage fora on our web site 6abc.com. we also have the tip line. call northwest detectives if you have any information. we have that number posted for you on 6abc.com. we're live at police headquarters, katherine scott, channel6 "action news." >> okay, katherine thank you.

in recent polling. if those races do result in runoffs it may be possible we won't know who controls the senate for months. there is certainly a lot at stake here politically but remember, midterm elections on average have a voter turnout of about 39 to 42 percent. the only way you can make your voice heard is to get out and vote today. tamly. >> all right, you know, erin there have been so many polls, so many predictions i can't wait to see what happens because in politics there's always a surprise. we'll see you short. a bucks county polling place will open as scheduled today despite a nasty accident last night. chopper 6 hd what your over the springfield township police station just after a car slammed into the building around 6 o'clock last night. the driver was cut out of the wreckage and driven to the hospital. but again, the polling place inside that station will be opened today. now, polls in new jersey will open up in about half an hour. they open in pa and delaware at 7:00 and all of the polls close at 8 o'clock tonight. volunteers from the league

and bring in your always-on day planner, there it is, so you can glance ahead if you like. today's high, well, clouds mixing with sun and 66 in allentown, 67 in philadelphia and more 67's down south. so, again, like yesterday, not a big range in temperatures. everybody pretty much winding up at the same spot. if you're headed to the polls today early on when they open at seven which, in pennsylvania, 49 degrees and then up to 65 by noon so you're not going have to wait very long for the numbers to really warm. our high of 67 will be at about 2:00 and by 3 o'clock 66 degrees. sometimes people like to go and pick up their kids and if the polling station is near the school you just vote right then. looking at pretty good temperatures there. after work 59 degrees after 6 o'clock. when the polls close at 8 o'clock tonight 57 degrees, that is not a bad election day forecast. light winds. no rain. and then tomorrow we've got high pressure fading off the coast. cold front coming at us a from the west and ahead of that we'll still be in a southwesterly flow that will give us another nice mild day. on thursday, however, we'll be looking at this frontal

boundary arriving and you'll look at cloud cover and rain building through the day. your exclusive seven-day forecast, today's high 67 degrees, clouds mixing with some sun. probably a little more cloud cover in the morning than later on. but we'll have that mix going on most of the time in most neighborhoods. tomorrow still night. high of 68, a mix of sun and clouds there. on thursday, you'll start out cloudy, rain will arrive during the morning, perhaps before the ends of the morning rush hour and then rain continues through the day getting steady at times later in the day and at night. 64 is the forecast high on thursday. and the rain could be heavy enough at times to produce some street flooding especially when you consider all those leaves that were just blown off the trees during our windy weekend. those get into the storm drains and cause you problems. on friday we've got a morning lingering shower but in the afternoon it looks like we're drying out, 55 is the high. and for the coming weekend, 52, partly sunny and cooler on saturday. on sunday, a shower is possible in the morning. otherwise, mostly cloudy and 53. and monday partly sunny, dry, cool. the eagles at home for monday night football and it looks like it will be chilly but
