you won't find very many charging stations. >> reporter: great advice for those looking ahead and trying to plan but it looks as if walking will be a main mode of transportation, and the planning isn't over yet as officials here in camden are still looking at how they will plan this out for that week even. we expect to hear more in the days and weeks ahead. we're live from camden, sharrie williams for channel six "action news". one of the ways to make sure you are getting very latest information is by following our dedicated twitter account at six a abc pope. also "action news" is heading to argentina right new to gather stories from pope francis hometown. jim gardner will be in buenos aires talking to people and seeing place that he is helped form pope 's views and faith. we invite to you watch these very special live reports from argentina at 6:00 and 11:00 all next week here on six a abc. chopper six over breaking news in gloucester county, new jersey. a pickup truck crashed in the
