highways and byways tonight. >> they are not rolling quickly. almost an hour and a half from our five car pileup on 95 southbound, it finally is clearing out as we watch live there goes the last vehicle being towed away and they were blocked two lanes as they cleared it and it's a real mess on 95 southbound and even though all three lanes are now open, this is what we are left with, a parking lot south of street road in bucks county on down from the earlier accident scene in the work zone, if you come down to the sixers game from bucks couldn't, and the northbound side of fifth street. 95 northbound delays have us jam solid on the vine across town one solid line and westbound is backing up approaching the schuylkill. and henderson road by the wawa and one on 422 westbound giving

us extra slowing in the normal slow spot. safe travels. >> thanks matt. more to come on "action news" this evening. a nation reeling from a string of natural disasters is hit by an earthquake. and the battled royal caribbean cruise ship had to cut another trip short. what passengers said this time. clouds are building tomorrow and we are tracking rain and snow showers in the form of mainly snow for us. we'll have the timing and how much to expect in accuweather.
