are still missing today. griffith was an acting dean at medgar evers college in new york city. we don't know why he was on the train. he founded a prep school in new york city. that school is closed today as staff members remember him. we're working to learn more about why and how this happened. news4's adam tuss is live in philadelphia following the investigation and he'll join us in a moment. but first the forecast with meteorologist tom kierein. >> well, the gusty winds we had yesterday are settling down. there's the flag near union station, live picture there this morning. now the winds are down around 10 to 15 miles per hour. and the temperatures are down as well. frederick down to 43. and it's in the mid 40s from hagerstown through martinsburg and much of shenandoah valley much of 40 degrees. prince george's county and fairfax in the mid to upper 40s. by 8:00 this morning we'll have bright sunshine. just a few high clouds.

still a chill in the air in the low 50s. then jumping to near 60 by 10:00 this morning. and then by noontime, should be getting into the low to mid 60s with a lighter wind and we'll have bright sunshine through much of the afternoon. so have the sunglasses handy. your drive time forecast coming up next weather and traffic on the 1s. breaking news with melissa. >> breaking news right now. again we're talking a then crash, 95 southbound here at dale city. first 4 traffic tracker just drove by this for us. you can see a very big response here in the main lane, shut down here. main lanes are closed. a one-mile backup right now. you're only getting by here in that access road to the right side of the roadway. so this is going to be closed here for some time. if we can take a look now at a live camera for you, this is a live camera on this situation. 95 southbound at dale city main lanes are okay. 66 into town just fine. 95 otherwise is fine.

northbound is fine. the slowdown is should be. wide look at things, no major problems when you look at the beltway. 95 in maryland at powder mill road. not having any issues. westbound new york avenue between fenwick and kendall still all lanes blocked there. back in ten minutes. >> thanks, melissa. here's what we know right now about the investigation into that deadly derailment if philadelphia. the train was traveling at more than 100 miles an hour when it hit the curve and shot off the track. the speed limit is just 50 miles an hour at that turn. the ntsb says a safety system could have prevented the crash. families helped identify five of the seven people who died. we could learn about the other victims today. the investigation is looking closely at information recorded on the train's black box data recorder. we know the train was going too fast around that curve, but is that the sole cause of the train to fly off the track? we turn now to adam tuss live in philadelphia for what's next in this investigation. a lot of questions, adam.

>> reporter: eun, there's still so many questions that are unanswered here. first and foremost, we know the name of the train engineer who was in that control of the train. 32-year-old bostian of new york. they were bringing in new rail to put on the tracks there. that tells you a good deal about what was happening and the state of the rails in there right now. but investigators really need to talk to that engineer and get a clearer picture of the what was doing on. his attorney said in a statement that bostian quote has no recollection of the incident when he was coming close to that turn at a high rate of speed, more than double the speed that he was supposed to be approaching that turn. we should say there's a clear definition between engineer and conductor. the engineer is in complete control of the operations and the movement of the train. so we need to know more from him. now the ntsb says in the next

few days they'll be interviewing the crew. they'll be doing a detailed analysis of recorders and data. conducting a site distance test talking to other people. i want to mention that search dogs have been here from the p.a. task force. that tells you a little bit more about this still being a recovery effort and we should not lose sight of the fact that there are still a number of who are unaccounted for after this crash. eun, back to you. >> adam tuss live in philadelphia for us thank you. and adam just said it there are a number of people still unaccounted for. very emotional father from maryland says he's angry at amtrak because it is give him answers about his son. bob gilder sleeve, sr., worried that his son died on that train. >> he was in the first car. it's turned inside out. they found his phone, his phone. but they can't find him or his

your time is 5:16. now to that deadly train crash under investigation in philadelphia. overnight investigators identified a fifth person who died on the train. derrick griffith is among seven victims. the chairman of the house transportation committee is heading to the crash site today. the train was going over 100 miles per hour in the area where the speed limit was just 50. 23 of the more than 200 people hurt in the crash are still in the hospital this morning. eight remain in critical condition. one doctor at temple university

hospital says nearly all of the patients admitted there had rib fractures which tells him those passengers got thrown around during this derailment. doctors say they only saw one case of serious head trauma. now after the crash many started to ask why this train and so many others don't have seat belts. there are no federal mandates for seat belts. >> the train industry argues it would cost a lot of money to install the seat belts and no way to make sure that people wear them. passenger trains are designed to absorb collisions better than cars on the roads. officials say there's no evidence seat belts would make trains any safer. it's now 5:17. new this morning, it was a close call for five montgomery county firefighters. they were pulled from the house fire in the neighborhood on leekes lot way in gaiters burg. >> news4's megan mcgrath is there with all the developments. good morning. >> reporter: well, good morning.

some pretty scary moments for five firefighters who were trapped inside the house that you see behind me here when the roof partially collapsed. they sent out a mayday, but fortunately those firefighters were able to get outside. take a look at these still photos that were tweeted out by the fire department. you can see the flames traveling along the roof line and in the attic when the fire started overnight here. we are on leekes lot way and the roof partially collapsed in this. it's made of wood. so when the flames got into that void space of the attic and up to those wood shingles it really got going. pretty intense flames there for a time. good news here is that all of those firefighters, all five of them, were able to get out of the burning home. they were taken to the hospital as a precaution but we're told that they don't have any burns. they don't have any serious injuries. firefighters have left the scene, the flames are out at this point, but there's a lot of damage. estimated at $800,000.

back to you guys in the studio. >> thank you. 5:19. the victim of a deadly shooting is speaking out. five people were shot, one died and prince george's county police are still looking for the gunman who sprayed a barrage of bullets there. one of the victims tells our bureau chief tracee wilkins he is tired of the violence in the neighborhood. >> i caught two to the arm. everybody else got hit up. and now we have a young man dead. for nothing. >> friends say the victim reginald brown iii was the comedian in his group of friends. a muslim advocacy group is asking metro to tell them why they removed a driver who wears an islamic head scarf. the council on islamic american nations said he wasn't allowed to operate a train carrying vips. and this happened before a media event on friday. the driver says she was then watched by security personnel.

is looking into a system that could have slowed down the train. it's called positive train control. it senses a speeding train, it slows down in areas where the speed limit is restricted. the ntsb said it could have saved lives if it was in place where this derailment happened. >> positive train control is designed to prevent derailments due to overspeeding, so this is exactly the type of accident that it's designed to do that. >> congress mandate positive train control after a crash between a freight train and commuter train in california in 2008. it is used on part of amtrak's northeast corridor, but again, not in that section of last night's derailment. metro is taking a big hit from the federal government. the house committee approved a $50 million funding cut for metro. the news4 i-team said it could be coming back in april. a spokesperson justified the decision saying metro has a large amount of unspent money.
