work continues back there. , see what looks like a snow flurry as workers continue to gather up that white powder that was spilled on the road. now, this is a multilevel investigation involving the local police and county investigators because it was a fatal accident, this is being treated like a crime scene. >> it could potentially lead to criminal charges. >> reporter: this violent collision sent shock waves through the neighborhood just before 6:00 this morning. investigators continue to piece together the exact sequence of events. initially it appears the trailer of a tractor-trailer rig broke weigh as the truck rounded a curve an oncoming tanker truck plowed right into it. the driver of that truck was killed. the other driver was uninjured. police are also looking into the possibility that the trailer may have that crossed the center line and broke free when it was hit. >> obviously the reconstruction of this accident, the physics of the accident are going to lead us

to a definite determination of what the geometry was of the accident. >> reporter: the tractor-trailer was hauling barrels of a fine white powder used in cosmetics. the powder caught fire on the roadway and nearby lawns. that triggered a hazmat response. residents sheltered in place until responders determined the material is not hazardous. residents say this road they call accident alley is the real hazard. a lot of speeding and a lot of accidents. >> everybody's coming down here about 50, 55 miles an hour and then sometimes if you're not familiar with the road you don't realize these have some pretty good curves on this road. so we've seen -- we've been here many years saw sonsy tons and tons. >> reporter: at this point investigators haven't determined what caused this accident. the investigation and the cleanup continues out here with still no word on when this road might open. it could still be hours yet based on what we're seeing behind us right now. live in audubon david henry

sunny and seasonably warm with a high of 69 degrees. you like it warmer? wednesday will be your day. loads of sunshine, 74. on thursday we get a flow out of the northeast off the ocean. that will bring us more clouds a-few showers especially along the coast, 65 degrees. on friday breezy, again a few showers. we cool it off even little bit more. 63. but then back into the sunshine for the weekend. saturday 70 degrees, great weather for the philadelphia union game saturday afternoon and sunday nice day to take a 10-mile run down broad street. 76 degrees. a lot of sunshine. looks like temperatures will be in the up are 50's and low 60's during the race and monday 78 degrees. i wouldn't be surprised if monday some folks hit 80 degrees. so, the weekend is looking nice. monday and i'm already looking forward to the weekend. >> i know. live in the moment, cecily. >> okay. >> abc's world news tonight with david muir is next on channel six.
