northern virginia reporter david culver live at the intersection where the tragic crash occurred. david? >> reporter: just in the past 30 minutes, the loudon county sheriff's office e-mailed us confirming that news, that the baby e the five month old involved in the crash lost his life. this is where it happened on the cross walk. when we showed up here this morning this is one of the scenes you walked on to and your stomach just sank. the baby's crushed stroller lay just outside the cross walk on riverside parkway. crash reconstruction teams from the sheriff's office working to piece together what happened. the tragic view you could see from chopper 4. the sheriff walked us through what appeared to have happened around 8:00 this morning. >> we had a mom pushing a story with her five month old baby in the stroller walking northbound in the cross

the vehicle took a left-hand turn and that's where the accident took place. >> reporter: the man driving the jeep suv stayed on scene as neighbors rushed to help the mom and child. >> i don't think he was breathing, somebody was trying to give cpr to the baby. the mom was screaming she couldn't move. she was all screaming and she was hurt. >> reporter: emotional mom right there describing what she rushed on to. meantime, the loudon county sheriff's office tells us they have not yet come forward with charges, they say they're talking with the attorney's office. we'll send it back to you. school will begin after labor day. that is now the law of the land in maryland. those words from the governor. larry hogan as he signed an s executive order. this starts next year. schools will be required to open after labor day. there will be 180 days of classes and the year mus

june 15th. critics have said this later start will not help students, but hogan says the law allows families to have more time to enjoy their summer and it is good for the economy. >> the action that we're taking today will help protect the traditional end of summer, not only for families on vacation this week, but also for the teachers and the students working here in ocean city and all across the state for the summer. >> schools will be allowed to apply for waiver. but they have to provide a compelling reason if they want an earlier start date. a high school in prince georges county will open on time tomorrow. it was closed when road crews hit a gas line in front of the school here. chopper 4 over the scene early this morning on brandywine road. that gas line is now fixed. just days after the district's 911 service went out for 90 minutes, news 4

learned there was a delay in dispatching fire and rescue teams to the scene of a man trapped inside a car. beside that fallen tree. police and passers by ended up helping the man as they waited for more help to arrive. mark seagraves is live with the story you'll see only on news 4. >> reporter: yeah, it turns out that the 911 dispatcher delayed for six minutes before sending emergency rescue crews to this location because she was apparently confused about where this location is. meanwhile, bystanders and police on the scene lifted the tree off the car, rather than waiting for the d.c. fire department. it was the height of evening rush hour when the tree fell, trapping the man inside this car. the first caller to 911 described the location of the incident as rock creek parkway just after the connecticut avenue exit. but the

address or a cross street. after six minutes of back and forth between the 911 operator and the witness, units were dispatched. by that time, police and bystanders had lifted the huge tree off the car. >> i will tell you that there was some back and forth about where exactly this location was. the call taker seemed to me was being very diligent in trying to extract an exact location. it just took some time to get that out. >> reporter: now, i spoke with the woman who made that 911 call and i was allowed to listen to the 911 call itself. and it was abundantly clear to me the description of the location she was describing, rock creek parkway before the connecticut avenue exit. as for the victim in this case he's been upgraded to stable condition. >> thank you. in seven minutes we're gog

another hot and humid day today. and for the most part storm team 4 radar mainly dry. can't rule out a shower or thunderstorm tonight. most of us are dry. have the umbrella ready tomorrow. here's the planner for the kids as they head off to the bus stop. 73 degrees and we'll have plenty of clouds throughout the day on thursday. maybe a shower or two. but most of the day looking dry. it's going to be cooler. a high tomorrow of 85 degrees. that's going to be when you're picking the kids up. after school activities tomorrow looking fine. recess slight chance it's indoors with a shower possible and around 78. still tee shirt weather tomorrow. we'll continue to track more comfortable air moving in on friday. then, again, we're likely impacted by tropical storm hermine over labor day. more on the timing and impact coming up in a little bit. >> big weather day, thank you. a scam alert for you fi

at 4. food lion is warning its customers about a fake coupon that's making its way around social media. it looks like the real deal. here's what it looks like, the fake coupon circulating on facebook claims you can take $90 off any purchase to celebrate the store's 60th anniversary. food lion says if you see it don't click on it or share it. the chain is working to have it removed from facebook. more local neighborhoods are getting sprayed for mosquitos. we'll tell you where you're being warned to stay inside. and we'll take a live look down in florida for a look at the storm. we just learned is going to impact us. were coming right back o'n

well, we are just hours away from donald trump's big speech outlining his immigration policy. this comes after today's last minute trip to mexico. >> mexico's president inviting both presidential candidates to meet with him today. trump's visit drawing immediate backlash from former mexican official and ordinary citizens. >> meet the process moderator chuck todd joins us, he's live in new york city. do we know what they talked about or how long they talked? >> we don't know yet. we haven't seen him yet. i think that's something we're going to learn. this was probably a riskier political meeting for the president of mexico than it was for donald trump. the single most

may very well be donald trump. the level of ridicule he receives doesn't matter -- there's no breakdown by class or education or anything like that. it is almost universal when it comes to anger and hatred at donald trump. so it is a risk more for the sitting president than for trump. i thought the move was kind of shrewd, it caught the clinton campaign off guard. it's become the dominant story of the day. it only elevates, you know, it's about theatrics a little bit. so had theater of the presidency, trump looking the part, standing next to a world leader. and of course, it raises expectations and brings more attention to his immigration speech tonight. ultimately it's the details of the speech that are going to dictate whether this shift that he's trying to make on immigration and whether it's about appealing to hispanics or appealing to skeptical suburban

speech not the photo ops this afternoon. >> we were showing some live pictures of the president in mexico meet ing with trump. any sense that hillary clinton might take the mexican president up on his offer to come down there herself? she was blasting trump today. >> you know, it's interesting. i'll be curious to see if she does. obviously the mexican president invited both candidates to come visit. i think the idea of clinton looking like she's following the lead of trump is something the clinton campaign is going to avoid. my guess, my best educated guess is they don't do that. you know, this has been a frustration of the clinton campaign. as much as they think that there are a lot of ways that trump presents them opportunities in order to win this election. his unpredictability and savviness in sort of taking control of a news cycle like that is something that has them up ended a little bit. i don't think they will try to follow trump's lead on these

their own path. but a day like today, you know, she gave a big speech on american exceptionalism i think they thought that was going to drive the day. it did not. >> thanks so much. >> all right, wendy, thank you. >> we'll be anxious to see what trump says tonight about his immigration speech. >> thanks so much. we'll see you on nightly. >> turning back to your forecast and all eyes on florida. we want to take you live to the clouds gathering over orlando. >> let's get the latest from amelia. we are going to be feeling some of this later this weekend? >> yeah. and first indication was earlier this afternoon if you follow me on twitter or facebook, posted that information right away. because this is looking to have quite a big impact on our labor day plans. so parts of florida from tropical storm hermine picking up five to ten inches. here the amounts look low, four

that could be flooding concerns to the area. here are your weather headlines. have the umbrella handy tomorrow it could be deal ing with a shower or your day could be completely dry. a little bit cooler than today. still a little bit humid. gorgeous though on friday as we finish off the work week. that forecast has not changed since i was last in here on sunday. we're keeping a close eye on tropical storm hermine that looks to impact our area mainly later saturday on into the first half of sunday. this weekend. and unfortunately, aligning perfectly with labor day weekend. from our weather underground, temperatures getting around 90 degrees. 90 in leesburg. our high 91. redskins game tonight, they moved the game up a night. but the weather still not cooperating. we'll have rain at times for the game. muddy and muggy out there. getting reports of flooding in spots in tampa. they've picked up two inches of rain today. more is on the way tonight and breezy with winds

per hour. game temperatures very tropical. back at home, tomorrow, showers are possible. if you love to run the doors, you have the tee time, i think you'll be fine. lunch, probably better indoors tomorrow with that threat of a shower. after school activities, they'll be just fine, most of us are dry. if you're heading to the bruce springsteen concert getting questions about this on twitter and facebook. it's looking dry. temperatures in the 70s. here's your hourly planner. we're starting off the day at 73. that's pretty comfortable. it's not gorgeous, it's okay. as we look to noon, the chance of a shower and a little bit humid tomorrow, high of 85. today, our highs 91. we can say good bye to the 90s for a while. and with that, doug is experiencing -- doug i came in here today and saw thunderstorm hermine. what's is like out there now? >> reporter: you know, right now it's a little bit warm and humid. you guys aren't worried about a

you? they're set up for the tropics, they've got the palm trees, they've got the beach here as well. this is the philips family and their friends. wave hello, everybody! >> hi! >> reporter: i've been taking a look at this back yard. i don't think i've touched the suffersis surface of what this is. tom and colleen, philips, you've done most of this work yourself? >> i have. >> reporter: how much of labor has this been for you years wise? >> 12 years. >> reporter: you've lived through all of them. >> yes, i have. very happily. >> reporter: we're going to talk to them in a couple of minutes. we'll talk more about your back yard weather and much more about the tropical system coming our way. unfortunately it will come here this weekend. i'll have that update for you coming up a little bit later with amelia. >> we'll see you then. coming up, we take you live to cloudy tampa. how tropical storm hermine could mess up the redskins plans more

tonight. >> and the nation's top health official wrapping u anp

montgomery county is beefing up efforts to control the local spread of the zika virus the county plans to spray for mosquitos in gaithersburg.

starting around 7:30 tomorrow night. they will specifically focus on the strawberry knoll area of gaithersburg. health officials discussed zika's threat today. dr. anthony fouchy expressed concern about the lack of emergency funding to fight the virus. he described it as an inexplicable happening. the cdc says it's out of money to fight zika as well. lots of drama surrounding the redskins final preseason game. >> the tropical storm causing the game to be moved up. >> the conditions are not good at the present time. >> tough guy jason pugh is out in the elements, it's coming down around you, buddy. >> reporter: yeah, it really is. i regret not bringing a rain coat down here to florida for this game tonight. but the con

raymond james stadium if the game would get played at 8:00 p.m. i reached out to the nfl offices in new york earlier they said the game will go on as scheduled. that could change if the weather conditions worsen throughout the day here in tampa. i did get a chance to walk the field for a little bit. the field is actually in pretty good shape, guys. it's not too soggy. there is not any puddles on the field. it's playable. the only thing that could posal possibly stop the game is the lightning. the rain and field conditions are okay. you can watch this redskins game tonight right here on nbc 4. kickoff is at 8:00 p.m. against the buccaneers. with the game being moved up a day, that means several of your wednesday nbc programs have been moved around. we have the show listings information over on our nbc washington app. again, kick off is set for 8:00 here on nbc 4. we'll see if the weather holds up and if the guy

game in. earlier today a few redskins didn't make the trip to tampa. they stayed in d.c. for the red skins welcome home luncheon. that's going to do it for me at news 4 at 4:00. i'm jason pugh. >> good things he doesn't have the pocket umbrella. >> exactly. you don't need the purse umbrella. >> that's a big umbrella rain. >> get back inside. of course the game's tonight on nbc 4. followed immediately news 4 at 11:00. >> bring your umbrella you're going to need it in your living room to feel like you're a part of it. wait till you hear what somebody brought to dwi airport. amelia on the new track of hermine and how it's shifting our way now, amelia? >> yeah so that rain that jason was standing in is heading our way for labor day weekend. win

but how did we end up here? his mom thought he had the flu and that he was covered by the meningococcal meningitis vaccine he had received. until 2014 there were no vaccines for meningitis b in the u.s. now there are. while uncommon, meningitis b can lead to death within 24 hours. trumenba is a vaccine for 10 through 25 year olds to help prevent group b meningococcal disease. trumenba should not be given if you had a severe allergic reaction after a previous dose. most common side effects were injection-site pain, fatigue... headache, muscle pain, and chills. ask your doctor or pharmacist about all the risks and benefits of trumenba and tell them if you've received any other meningitis b vaccines. meningitis b can be spread by typical sharing like... a drink... a spoon...

here... it might have been prevented with trumenba. ask your doctor or pharmacist about trumenba. hey how's it going, hotcakes? hotcakes. this place has hotcakes. so why aren't they selling like hotcakes? with comcast business internet and wifi pro, they could be. just add a customized message to your wifi pro splash page and you'll reach your customers where their eyes are already - on their devices. order up. it's more than just wifi, it can help grow your business. you don't see that every day.

comcast business. built for business. now, at 4:30. storm center 4 radar shows you the storm that's tracking it closer to us. >> let's take a look at this. tropical storm hermine, it formed just hours ago. it could bring us several inches of rain this weekend. meteorologist amelia draper is here to map out its path. >> whether you're heading to the beach, the local beaches over the labor day weekend or staying here, unfortunately, it is looking like we'll be dealing with

rainfall amounts about two to six inches. with that much rain we'll certainly be tracking the concern for some flooding. i want to break down the timeline. so friday night, it's gorgeous, it's dry. nothing to worry about. during the day on saturday, rain moves in. it could move in as early as lunchtime or hold off until the later afternoon. the time period i'm most concerned about this weekend is going to be saturday night. this forecast is evolving and it will be changing, but right now, all eyes on saturday night as we track heavy rain and winds that could produce some wind damage. flooding still potentially an issue sunday morning as rain pulls out during the day on sunday. radar showing the heaviest rain around the tampa area. right now in cedar key, jay is seeing high winds, any rain? >> thankfully we're getting break from the rain. it's been

musk throu plo move through. forecasters are warning this storm could reach hurricane status before it hits this coast. right now thousands across florida continue to prepare and pack what they can. >> i don't know what i would do without this man here. >> governor rick scott warns time is running out. >> we have storm surge, we're going to have rain. the risk of tornado. this is going to go across the state. >> reporter: conditions are infeni intensifyin intensifying. near tampa a woman was pulled from the car. the state of emergency has been declared in 42 counties ahead of landfall expected overnight. the strike point looks like somewhere near cedar key. >> we restrict access to the city. if you don't have to be down here, down. >> reporter: the system could dump 15 inches of rain in some areas as it

carolinas. it could make a second hit along the new england coast by labor day. and more than 8,000 national guard troops right now are on stand by ready to deploy at a moment's notice. that's the latest here in cedar key. well the fire storm over colin kaepernick's decision to remain seated during the national anthem is likely to flair up. he says he will do it again tomorrow. tory johnson is here with today's talk around town. kaepernick says he's doing a stand, taking a stand against racial injustice. he's not the first person to use a controversial stance, if you will, to make a point and that's part of free speech in this country. m people hate it and some people defend it. >> that's true. you're talking about black

not the first time it's happened. when you think back to -- it's interesting to see colin kaepernick's action compared to michael jordan for example. now michael jordan, you know, making some efforts to help out the community. but he's been criticized during his playing days for not inserting himself into the conversation. and then you compare colin kaepernick to the situation with jim brown back in the day, supporting muhammad ali for example. jim brown a hall of fame athlete speaking out on colin kaepernick's behalf recently saying he makes all the sense in the wuorld he's telling the truh as he sees it and backs him up 100%. there's a long line of protest that's a part of what happens in america. and what you see is -- as an athlete stepping out and making a comment that's resonating with a lot of the people we have talked to at whur. debora tells

shows an awful lot of careful. >> he's so brave as an nfl player he's ready to acknowledge his black side and be the voice for those black people. and i'm going to commend him for being more brave if he gets cut he's ready to give up the glories of fame and know what it's like to be a black man in america. >> some people say, it's interesting somebody -- people that are opposed to the situation, often talk about the freedoms we have in america to speech. but then when someone like a colin kaepernick uses that, he's deemed as unpatriotic. a lot of listeners calling that one out. >> right. also today, kareem abdul jabbar wrote an op-ed, where he said it's not the flag on the anthem that is the icons that are important. it's the freedoms behind that. and a true patriot is someone if you feel like the country is not going to right direction is supposed to stand up and do something patriotic, which

stand up against or to do something controversial. and not worship the icons if you will, that it's the image and the institution behind it. >> right. >> not the icons. >> we can get to that in a moment, too. some critics i have to say that called the daily drum last night not happy about the stance he's taking. some are saying they're questioning whether this will really have the kind of impact that it should have and the conversation. one listener george from rockville says he may be making a statement, but he might be ignoring a glaring fact in the black community. >> you know, colin kaepernick stands up and talking about raci racism. i'd like him to stand up when black people are getting killed by black people. don't blame when the shooter was a cop. >> and you know, as you see that's a very interesting point of view. what's also interesting in this conversation is the soldiers that are serving right now. some vetns

because of the stance he's taken. they've taken to social media to talk about that. they're posting photographs of themselves in uniforms and saying hey, don't tell everybody what i stand for as -- or fought for. he's doing what he thinks is right and has the right to do as an american citizen. very interesting, very polarizing in some aspects. but certainly interesting point of view. >> nice to get people talking about stuff so we can examine what it means to be an american and what our freedoms mean. thank you. thanks troy. official word, your go-to right home may not longer wait up for you. adam tu adam tuss has more. tracking the tropics, will tropical storm hermine be out of yo way for laborur

sunny hot and humid and mainly dry this evening. right now we're around 90. sit in washington. tomorrow, cooler. a bit of a break from the heat. 85 for a high. here's a school day planner. >> at the bus stop, around 73. pretty comfortable out there. we will have plenty of clouds. and a shower is possible. one of those days have the umbrella you might not need to use it. you know the deal. most if not all of your day looking dry. i think recess should be outside for most kids. 78. and again

we should have more information about hermine closer to 5:00. and we'll give you the update right away. thank you. another pedestrian hit by a car on area streets. this latest incident happening in suitland before the morning rush today. that crash happened on the parkway near the naylor road exit. it was 1:00 a.m. the man was crossing the parkway when he was struck. police tell us the man suffered critical injuries. the driver who hit him remained on the scene. first at 4:00 a maryland man arrested with tsa officers caught him trying to carry a 12 gauge shotgun past a security check point. the man is from mount airy was carrying it instead a locked case. it was not loaded. tropical storm hermine. >> as we track the storm on the air, a reminder, you can get our forecast and look athe

breaking news at the live desk this afternoon. donald trump meet ing with the president of mexico right now. he has just concluded a joint press conference and outlined five things he says the countries have to work together on. they include, ending illegal immigration. securing the border with a

dismantling the drug trade, updating nafta and keeping manufacturing wealth within t hemhemi atmosphere. >> we are united by our support by democracy, great love for our people. and the contributions of millions of mexican americans to the united states. >> and trump says he did not ask the mexican president to pay for the border wall during his meeting. at the live desk i'm scott mcfarland. all right, scott, thank you. organizers of the marine corp marathon are forced to make big changes to this year's race because of metro's safe track program. and most of the adjustments will involve timing. before during and after the event. our transportation reporter adam tusk joins us live from the rosalyn station to break it down for us, adam? >> reporter: that's right. you know, here's why all of t

at 7:00 on october 30th. the race, the marathon portion of the race starts at 7:55. that doesn't give you much time to get down to the race. now all of that means there's going to be an awful lot of adjusting and schedule changing. marathon officials say they are not going to switch the start time to a later time. what they are going to do is put in things like runners only shuttle buses. they're going to add more parking to accommodate everyone getting to the race. yes, this is going to take a little bit of juggling. >> the mcm will maintain its 7:40 a.m. wheelchair start and the 7:55 a.m. marathon start time along route 110 in arlington, virginia. to minimize the stress op runners, the mcm will keep the start line open for 60 minutes until 8:55 a.m., almost 40 minutes longer than i

years. >> reporter: so that's how they're planning to adjustment things to help people get down there to the starting line. a couple of things about the race course. the marathon itself is going to be a little bit more in some arlington neighborhoods and the 10 k will be exclusively in virginia. those are two big changes, need to study up if you're coming down to run or participate in the fun, jim. >> why didn't metro say for this major event they will allow an early opening? >> reporter: one of the things that metro has always said is they need more time to get on the tracks. that's what state track is all about. giving maintenance workers more time to get into the system and make fixes. they have said in no unequivocal terms there will be no dispensations granted for any special event. the marine corp marathon thought they might get an early opening and in fact they did not. >> adam, thanks so much. we have the new route mapped out for you inou
