lajeunesse, fox news. the news keeps coming, brian bolter with the news edge at 11:00. >> we are monitoring metro's rush hour meltdown. the agency is still investigating underground train derailment on the green line this afternoon, no one hurt, big question, why? fox 5's audrey barnes live on the scene now. audrey? >> reporter: brian, 55 passengers were on that train when three of the cars derailed just outside the west hyattsville metro station. firefighters had to work in the searing heat to go through that tunnel and get all these passengers out of those derailed cars and walk them to safety through an underground fan shaft of the several people were treated for heat-heated ailments after walking the 500 or so feet from the train to that exit. a 26-year-old pregnant woman was taken to the hospital as a precaution. the remaining passengers

boarded a cooling bus for evaluation. metro has suspended all weekend track work so they can inspect the rails and there are some other major service changes that people need to know about. >> green line service is suspended between ft. totten and pg plaza. we are providing shuttle bus service to bridge the gap for our customers and this is also causing delays on all of our lines. we issued a speed restriction on all above ground stations and tracks just to ensure out of an abundance of caution there are no other incidents this evening. >> reporter: now witnesses say the train cars that derailed actually came in contact with the tunnel walls and that is probably what prevented them from turning over completely and causing even more serious injuries to the passengers. so far no serious injuries were reported. brian? >> still no word what caused the derailment, but metro workers were seen inspecting the rails late this afternoon. joining us by phone is metro

spokesman dan stessel. do you have any new word on what happened? >> good evening, brian. yeah. we are looking at heat as a possible cause. the images you've shown from sky fox and other sources indicate what could be a possible heat- related track anomaly or a heat kink. that is something investigators are looking at given the extreme temperatures today. we haven't ruled that in, but it's certainly a fox us of the investigation right now. >> that said when we spoke earlier at 5:00 you said the trains were not on restricted speeds even though we knew the temperatures were going to be high today, upwards of 100 degrees. are you guys going to look at why you didn't try to sleet trains down? >> of course. there will -- slow the trains down? >> of course. there will be a full review. you see trains operating at higher speeds than metro rail trains. our trains have a max speed of 55 miles per hour. that's generally lower than other commuter rail systems, but there was no indication of

any heat-related problems with this section of track. we will review all aspects of this and seeing if there are any changes that need to be made to our protocols. >> i think people would say you wouldn't know there's a problem until a problem, but explain to viewers how even though these tracks were underground it still managed to, if it managed to, maybe we can make it in general how tracks underground can still see heat-related stressing. >> the section of track is not in tunnel section. the location of this incident is right at the tunnel portal. so it is entirely possible and actually the shots that folks have been reporting and media and you guys have from the chopper are actually a section of track just before this train would have entered the tunnel. this is a very short tunnel section about 2,000 feet. so it's entirely possible that the track anomaly occurred just as the train was entering the tunnel and the subsequent derailment occurred as the train pulled into the tunnel. >> dan stessel, metro

spokesman, we look forward to the results of your investigation. thank you. if you have any pictures from the derailed train, send them to fox5metro at gmail.com. we're posting viewer photos to the front page of our website www.myfoxdc.com. now chaos near a college campus. we have exclusive video of college park last night as a man steals a police cruiser after being shot. police believe the gunshots didn't stop the suspect because he was high on pcp. fox 5's john henrehan has the latest on this bizarre story. >> reporter: neighbors in college park say 21-year-old andre mckoy did not seem to be a violent young man. >> i've known him a couple years. he's been respectful to me. i didn't see him do anything in the neighborhood that would dictate to me that he would do something like that. >> reporter: thursday night around 10:20 andre's mother called 911 to say her son was high on pcp, was armed and she was worried about the children in the house. here's part of the call.

previous bond was set at $150,000, but the judge revoked that last month after prosecutors said the man and his wife misled the court about how much money they had. this time the judge has him on a very tight leash. he's wearing a gps tracking ankle bracelet and he's forbidden from leafing seminole county, florida. -- leaving seminole county, florida. zimmerman's attorney says he's living house and he also cannot step foot on airport property, cannot apply for a new passport, nor can he have a bank account. trayvon martin's family accepts the reality that justice for them, well, it's still possibly a full year away as no trial date has yet been set. in miami, phil keating, fox news. new jersey governor chris christie got heat on the jersey shore last night yelling at a critic who confronted him on the boardwalk. >> you're a real big shot. you're a real big shot. >> tmz posted the video of the altercation. the heckler made a comment

up over 100 degrees. that's the forecast anyway. it's going to be a hot human weekend, a couple more days where this -- humid weekend, a couple more days where this heatwave will stay in impact, heat index 110 to 115 at its peak. i think in the district we stay a little below 110 tomorrow afternoon. a few northern storms tomorrow. when i say northern, i mean mostly northern maryland up into southern sections of pennsylvania late into tomorrow evening. it does look like sunday is the better chance of scattered thunderstorms, frontal system gets closer to us. it's a good thing with the cooler air coming from the north. that will take us back down near normal next week, but in advance of that we'll have a lot of heat and humidity. so of there there's going to be the chance of severe weather. -- so therefore, there's going to be the chance of severe weather. tomorrow afternoon and evening most of the severe weather will be north of us closer to the front. you can just see the southern extent of the severe risk will be up into the northern sections of maryland, southern

pennsylvania. as we progress through into sunday, front gets closer to us and it's just acting like a bulldozer and pushes the air up, all the moisture up. we'll have a lot of lift, very unsettled sunday and sunday afternoon and that's going to cause some scattered thunderstorms accident strong to severe weather -- thunderstorms, strong to severe weather around here on sunday. 88 now, manassas 81, culpeper in the upper 70s as well as winchester, warmer some locations when you factor in the heat index. heat index tomorrow, 110 to 115. that's going to be enough for this excessive heat warning to be issued. it goes tomorrow from 11 a.m. until 10 p.m. so tomorrow will be absolutely miserable out there. if that weren't enough, code red air quality tomorrow. that will be a problem for just about everybody. so again take it easy tomorrow. no thunderstorms for us tonight. we have had a few clouds

drifting on in and that will help keep temperatures in the lower 80s here in town. overnight tonight very warm and very mild. very, very muggy i should say. heat index tomorrow full range 105 to 115. remember code red air quality. we get better monday, tuesday, wednesday. we break the back of the heatwave. dave ross is in tonight with a look at sports. oh, dave. this is the verizon 4g lte sports desk with dave ross. >> the nats last time games the offense has been as hot as those temps. 77 runs in that time. that's roughly 7.7 runs her game and tonight with stephen strasburg -- per game and tonight with stephen strasburg on the hill you wouldn't think they'd need that many to get the win, right? the nats with their all-star jerseys, there's tuesday's game and gonzalez and jamie johnson holding up a strasburg jersey.

nats down 1-0. tyler colvin had a home run earlier. top of the 7th still 3-6. jonathan herrera bunting, gorzelanny dives and get herrera barely, but later he'd give up two more runs. bottom of the 9th 5-0, nats down. ryan zimmerman prevents the shutout, solo shot to the left, but nats still fall to the rockies. strasburg suffers his third straight loss for the first time in his career and for some reason that colvin guy has been a problem for those nats. >> all it is just executing pitches. if you throw a mistake and he's going to hit it just like any other guy in the league. just for some reason we've been making more mistake pitches to him than the other guys. coming up tiger woods to get back in the winners circle, but if body language has anything to say about it, he's not happy, an unhappy tiger in
