whitman bridge packer avenue exit there's reports of accident there. now we go to atlantic city expressway westbound. out of atlantic city. just past garden state parkway there's an accident that has left lane blocked. there finally north philadelphia the place where the police involved accident happened lehigh avenue between 4 and 25 and investigation still continuing we expect road to be closed for a while. you have to take huntingdon or somerset to get around that part of lehigh avenue and because of that, the septa bus route 54 will be infected and they'll have to detour around it as well and because it travels along that part of lehigh avenue. so be prepared if you take the 54 bus this morning alex and mike. >> all right. the scene looks terrible but it could have been worse. we're talking about the early morning accident north philly involving two police officers and shooting victim and two civilians. >> looks like head on crash. >> it does if you look at that

camaro. >> yeah. >> smashed in the front. >> hi steve. >> like two head on crashes simultaneously in daylight makes it look worse. little daylight now but at maiszing part and lead of this story is nobody was hurt seriously worst hurt was driver of the police car an you can not see worst of damming it's on the other side. but the driver has a bad cut. maybe a concussion. and he's the worst hurt this lexus here with the front end damage was first car that hit the police car. and the lexus is coming from where we are standing on 25 street and there's buildings here three stories high and it doesn't see the police lights or hear the sirens evidently the way everybody has music blairing nowadays. lexus smashes into police car and you heard anchors mention shooting victim what they do is have a scoop and save policy in the philly police department we talk about it endlessly on this show they save hundreds of lives by not waiting for mrapss

anymore. and into the back of the police car they get into the hospital as soon as possible and that's how they save lives. in this case the dpi that is shooting victim shot three times in leg and has another life saving situation because he's in thised about accident. so after the police car hits the lexus then scenes into this oncoming camaro coming up lehigh the other way. and that's the second crash. you can see the damage to the lexus. by the way the driver of both lexus and camaro should have not been on the road in the first place 3:00 this morning since they don't have driver's license and that's inspector scott small that picks it up from there. when they come on contact with lexus.

>> a chevy camaro traveling west lehigh avenue and we have a three car hit. wire lucky due to the extreme damage to the police vehicle as well as other vehicles that and the injuries are not more severe. everyone is in stable condition including the shooting victim who is really fortunate because he was in the police car that came into contact with two other vehicles and that shooting victim although shot three times is in stable condition at temple hospital. hopefully the 24-year-old guy shot twice in one leg and once in the other leg and then involved in these two accidents second apart point have anything more happen to him he start the day getting robbed then shot and then getting into these accident and coincidentally the name of the street he was on where this all began was hollywood street.

as we look at what looks like a scene out of one of the many fast and furious movies hollywood cranked out latey here at 25 and lehigh in north philly. >> maybe he could play the lottery when he comes out of the hospital. that's a bad morning. >> there's got to be good luck coming his way. >> you mentioned shot and then two wrecks. >> you mentioned that after that rent a boy present or whatever how about app for this somebody can invent this whenever a police car activates lights and sirens or fire truck has its lights and sirens going it sends a beacon to all mobile devices to say watch out if you're on the road pull over. even though you cannot see it or hear it yet there's a fire truck from or emergency vehicle or ambulance heading your way watch out. how that -- about that for application. you now have things warnings come on phone right away for amber alerts and somebody else and that may save livrz just an idea. >> yeah, yeah. >> it may help sometimes you

hear sirens and you're look around where is it coming from which way. >> of course you should not be looking at phone while in the car so when the app goes up -- i don't know. >> we'll look into it. >> yeah. 7:09 a juror write will enter second day of deliberation this morning in the trial of former sportscaster don tollefson. >> for the jury it will be another possibly long dale. yesterday they were deliberating how long five hours. >> for about five hours yes alex they left here at bucks county courthouse 9:30 last night. hour shawnette wilson talked to him as he was leaving asking how he felt about the jury calling it a night and he said he could not really talk and on the advice of council but he was going to go home and focus on getting a full night's rest. these closing arguments in the case against former sports broad catser and former fox 29 employee don tollefson wrapped up yesterday afternoon. so now the juror write is tapped with deciding whether or not tollefson is guilty of defrauding about 200 people out of money they thoughts they were spending on sports charity games

and trips and the pack alleges never came to be and victims never got their money back tollefson is accused of pocketing 300,000 dollars. last night the jury returned to the courtroom a couple times to ask specific questions they wanted dates of eagles' games and asked for transcripts of testimony and in sop instances the judge asked the jury to rely on recollection and in other cases allowed the question to be answered and now dop sol ton was initially offered a plea deal and he had initially accept today we thought it would go down that route and at the last mind he decided to take this down that route and at the last mind he decided to take this case to trial
