that may have captured an image of the car. the police are left with a double mystery and they don't know who the victim is or who was driving the car. >> some witnesses say that it appears that the car was being chased by police at the time and we tried to ask police about that but so far they have not gotten back to you with an answer, in the meantime if you know someone with a volvo station wagon with fresh damage police want to you call 911 right away. david henry, channel 6 "action news." >> thank you david. we had to endure a wintry mix for the tri-state area, whether you got rain or snow depended on where you live. this was allentown today, and the lehigh valley had a brief period of snow but not enough to accumulate and it quickly turned to rain any way, the book is not closed for the northwest suburbs
