5:03 am
hand. they will be here a little while longer but good news in all this this 70 people that lived here that would have been affect by this are okay. they have not been allowed to go back to their rooms just yet and crews continue to work to get that mess underway, cleaned up underway but everyone is safe and sound, everyone is okay and accounted for and fire is out here in moorestown. >> that is good news in all accounts, everybody got out safely. it is 5:03. we have new calls this morning for electoral college vote to be delayed, but that is not going to happen. today members are expect to select republican donald trump as the next president despite efforts to disrupt the process , and some protests. both cia and fbi have reported that russia medicine eld in our election. extra security will be expect in harrisburg when ballots are cast here in pennsylvania. hillary clinton supporters are hoping presidential elect tors vote begins president-elect donald trump but analyst say there is little chance of this changing

5:06 am
lead poisoning. deteriorating lead paint found in older homes and buildings can cause irreversible health damage. the last year nearly 2700 local children had farm full levels of lead in their blood. 5:06. we have got this developing story right the now. we have had a horrible fiery crash on the roosevelt boulevard. there was a sports car that burst into flames, after rear ending a cool bus, we know that two of the passengers inside that car died on impact the lets get out to steve keeley, with what we know, steve. >> reporter: yeah, let's clarify not a sports car a four door sedan, mercedes, 16 year-old one. question is, was it a problem with the car or a problem with the driver? and here we are, woodward street and you see this bus stopped on the right lane. the school bus that stopped in the middle lane but sees another bus coming up from behind it, and even though this is a curve in the road you still see plenty of room. lets look at the video. this impact was so great, so
5:07 am
devastating that the first police and fire fighters on what kind of a car that this was, and they didn't learn it was a 2,000 mercedes, until they ran the license plate and the registration, to see what kind of vehicle it was. not only was there an impact but back of the stopped school bus but then it caught on fire , as they were trying to get the man who was in in his driver's seat out and woman in the front passenger seat out. just a devastating crash, in sign of skid marks or any sign that this driver ever saw that school bus and tried to stop. the speed limit here 45 miles an hour, two off-duty police officers in the same car seeing this mercedes flying down the boulevard right before the accident, witnessed the crash and said that this car was going way faster than 45. >> based on witness account and preliminary information the school bus was stopped at a red light tasting northbound in the outer lanes of roosevelt boulevard atwood ward, when this 2,000 mercedes
5:08 am
, that was traveling north on the boulevard in the outer lanes at a high rate have of speed according to witnesses rear ended the stopped school bus. it rear ended the school bus with such impact that it caused the mercedes, to actually go underneath the rear bumper of the school bus and that impact apparently killed both the male driver and female passenger. they were killed instantly. >> it was a 40 year-old woman driving school bus she was not the hurt at all, she had just dropped off 28 teenagers at the christiana contacted my , nearby the huntington valley christiana contacted my and, good thing they were not on the bus because back of the bus not only jack up but again caught fire. can you you imagine panic and maybe injuries from people being rear ended, that close from a car going that fast. so karen obviously the other question is was this driver
5:09 am
under the influence of something or we will not know until we get blood tests back during the autopsy but they will check that to see if the accelerator is stuck. if the gas pedal is stuck from a floor math or whatever reason you would think the driver would make a maneuver to swerve around that school bus but people living around here and you'll hear them at 5:30, karen, tell thaws this accident area is so bad now because there are red light cameras before and after this intersection and he said a lot of the drivers here know where they are and they have no intention of stopping, when they come through this intersection and they say woodward and roosevelt boulevard now one of the bad intersections for crashes here as we saw last night. >> all right, we will learn more in the coming days. thanks very much, steve. delaware state the police are now investigating the the cause of an accident that happened on old baltimore pike in newark just after 9:00 at intersection of pleasant valley and otis chapel road. police say there was a man seriously injured when his motorcycle collide with the car, we don't know what caused

5:50 am
was it why did he disappear? he was the entire reason why eagles had a good game offensively seeking the entire reason but nobody had a problem with him going for two i didn't have a problem. what i'm starting to have a problem with is the 6-foot five, 6-foot six, carson wentz getting balls batted out at the line of scrimmage. it has to stopped. >> what do you blame that for. >> what do you think is going on. he is tall enough, most of the time he does. >> he is a rookie. hopefully this will change. maybe the competition level playing in college he was president used to people that call on the defensive line but it hurt them yesterday. that is what stops that play. this i will tell you nobody is talking about that, people love wentz. he can do no wrong in this
