Philly officials are moving forward with a plan to close down homeless camps that have formed under a number of bridges with the goal of getting people into shelters and addiction treatment programs. One of those camps is in the city's Kensington neighborhood right under the Tulip Street Bridge. Those living under the bridge are speaking out.

A deadly crash blocked Cottman Boulevard in Northeast Philadelphia during the busy Monday morning commute.

A limousine and sedan collided where Cottman crosses over the Roosevelt Boulevard before 5 a.m. The crash left debris in the roadway and blocked traffic in each direction over the Boulevard.

A 29-year-old man died while two other people were hurt, police said.

SEPTA detoured its routes 1, 14, 20 and 70 and Boulevard Direct Express service.

The road remained closed for more than an hour as police investigated. Expect traffic trouble in the area as traffic also backed onto Roosevelt Boulevard since drivers can't get off at Cottman.

No word yet on what caused the crash.

I-95 Sign in Delco Hacked Twice with Vulgar Message: An investigation is underway after a sign on I-95 was hacked twice with a vulgar message. The words “Delco Suck JS D*** DC” were spotted on a portable variable message sign on I-95 southbound in Delaware County just before Exit 8 for Ridley Park on Sunday. A spokesperson for PennDOT told NBC10 they were made aware of the message around 10 a.m. and dispatched the Delaware County Maintenance Unit to reset the sign. After being reset however, the sign was once again hacked with the same message. A crew then returned to the sign and powered it off.  Photos of the message circulated on social media. "We are looking into the matter," a PennDOT spokesperson told NBC10. "It is not our sign and the contractor operates the sign within their construction zone."

KKK Fliers Found in Driveways of Hatboro Homes: An investigation is underway after fliers from a Ku Klux Klan chapter were found in driveways in a Montgomery County community. The leaflets from the Loyal White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan were found Saturday morning outside homes in Hatboro, Pennsylvania. “Blacks are taking over your TOWN as you read this, but if you don’t want to fight for yourself at least fight for your children’s future,” the pamphlet reads. The pamphlet also contains contact information for a KKK national hotline and radio show. One resident said the fliers were placed inside plastic bags with candy hearts in them. "It's sad to think there's people out there that I guess in 2018 still want to spew hate," Reggie Evers, a Hatboro resident, said. "I mean come on."

AROUND THE WORLD

Trump Says US Will Help Penalized Chinese Company: In a surprising overture to China, President Donald Trump said Sunday he would help a Chinese telecommunications company get "back into business," saying too many jobs in China are at stake after the U.S. government cut off access to its American suppliers. At issue is the Commerce Department's move last month to block the ZTE Corp., a major supplier of telecoms networks and smartphones based in southern China, from importing American components for seven years. The U.S. accused ZTE of misleading American regulators after it settled charges of violating sanctions against North Korea and Iran. The case dates to before Trump took office in January 2007 but the Commerce Department's decision came amid worsening trade tensions between the U.S. and China centered on technology-related intellectual property. Trump's unexpected announcement came as the two countries prepared to continue trade talks in Washington this week. Given his past vows to stop the flow of U.S. jobs to China and crack down on what he says are unfair trade practices, Trump's tweet of concern about Chinese jobs was something of a backflip.

That's what you need to know to Catch Up Quickly, but we've got more stories worthy of your time. Click here to check them out. 

A suspected carjacker pushed a first responder out of his stolen ambulance early Monday. GPS was credited with helping to track down one of the suspects.

The 32-year-old ambulance driver was doing some work in the back of his running ambulance parked at 12th and Loudon streets in the Logan section of Philadelphia just before 3 a.m. when the worker felt the ambulance suddenly moving, he told Philadelphia Police.

“When he realized the ambulance was moving he went into the driver compartment and saw two people he didn’t know who were actually stealing the ambulance,” Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small said.

The ambulance driver and the carjacking suspect in the passenger seat fought for several minutes, driving in about a one mile loop, before the suspect pushed the worker out of his ambulance at 12th and Rockland streets, the driver told investigators.

The worker knew that despite losing the struggle for the ambulance, he still had something working in his favor – the vehicle’s GPS. He called police and he called his headquarters, Small said.

“They began to track the ambulance,” Small said.

Police spotted the ambulance around 11th and Rockland streets and pulled over the emergency vehicle. The victim identified the driver as one of the suspected carjackers, police said. At some point, the passenger who struggled with the ambulance worker hopped out of the vehicle.

The 42-year-old carjacking suspect appeared to be highly intoxicated, Small said.

The ambulance driver suffered a shoulder injury, police said.

The man who allegedly pushed the worker wasn't in the vehicle and remained at large Monday morning.

The motivation for the theft wasn’t clear, investigators said.

More than two years after ambushing Philadelphia Police Officer Jesse Hartnett in the name of the Islamic State terrorist group, Edward Archer will learn his fate for the attempted murder and aggravated assault.

Archer, 33, faces decades behind bars when he is sentenced Monday. District Attorney Larry Krasner's office is requesting 48.5 to 97 years, DA spokesman Ben Waxman said.

Surveillance video shows Hartnett being ambushed in a hail of gunfire on the streets of West Philadelphia on Jan. 7 2016.

"Make no mistake about it, Edward Archer was a man with a plan that night," Assistant District Attorney Jan McDermott said during the jury trial, adding that he was "lying in wait" with an illegal handgun, gloves and a scarf around his face.

Archer fired 13 bullets, three of which shattered bones and damaged nerves in Hartnett's arm. Hartnett, who required multiple surgeries after the shooting, still managed to shoot back at the attacker, striking him once in the buttocks, the prosecutor said.

Hartnett continues to recover from his injuries. 

"I’m trying my absolute best to get back something that was taken away from me and it’s going to be quite a long road," Hartnett said outside the courtroom after Archer was found guilty in February. "I don’t think I’ll ever be 100 percent, but hopefully, someday, I’ll get close to that."

This story will be updated once Archer is sentenced.

A New Jersey teen enlisted some NFL star power for her prom-posal -- and she scored a yes! 

Mohamed Sanu, wide receiver for the Atlanta Falcons, recorded a message for the prom hopeful: 

"Hey Sam, this is Mohamed Sanu, and I think you should go to prom with Brianna, the New Jersey native and Rutgers alum says. 

"You better say yes," he finishes with a finger wave. 

Sanu recorded the video for Mahwah High School student Brianna Stoohs to ask her boyfriend, Sam Darrow, to prom. Sam is a big fan of Sanu. 

She played the video at Boomburger in Mahwah on Friday night. Sam's jaw can be seen dropping. 

Then she brought out a sign that says "Prom" in letters that look like the Falcon's logo. He said yes and they shared a hug. 

Sanu also sent Sam an autographed football.

Pennsylvania's growing medical marijuana industry received two major green lights Monday morning. 

Following recommendations highlighted last month, the Department of Health officially added opioid addiction to the list of approved conditions that can be treated by medicinal cannabis. And in a major boon to Philadelphia, five local institutions were awarded research licenses to study cannabis.

Pennsylvania is the only state to allow the treatment of opioid-use disorder with medicinal marijuana.

“It’s important to note that medical marijuana is not a substitute for proven treatments for opioid-use disorder,” Secretary of Health Dr. Rachel Levine said. “In Pennsylvania, medical marijuana will be available to patients if all other treatment fails, or if a physician recommends that it be used in conjunction with traditional therapies.”

The list of medical schools receiving research licenses in Philadelphia include Drexel University College of Medicine, Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University, Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University, Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine.

“The research component of Pennsylvania’s medical marijuana program sets it apart from the rest of the nation,” Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf said.

“Today, medical research is so limited by the federal government that only a few doctors can even have access to medical marijuana. Pennsylvania’s premiere medical schools will be able to help shape the future of treatment for patients who are in desperate need not just here, but across the country.”

Monday’s announcement marks the state’s aggressive expansion into a second phase of its medical cannabis program, which debuted just three months ago.

The new regulations take effect May 17. Other approved recommendations by the Department of Health include:

• Revising the serious chronic pain definition to no longer require patients to use opioids before using medical marijuana;
• Permitting medical marijuana to be dispensed in dry leaf or plant form, for administration by vaporization;
• Allowing physicians to opt out of the public-facing practitioner list while remaining in the Patient and Caregiver Registry; and
• Requiring patients to pay the $50 medical marijuana identification card fee once in a 12-month period.

A man was caught on camera following a woman into the restroom of a South Jersey Bed Bath and Beyond over the weekend. He then stood in front of her stall and moaned, she told investigators.

Evesham Township police officers were called to the home goods store on Route 73 in Marlton Sunday.

The woman told officers she noticed a bald man wearing glasses, a blue shirt and black boots follow her into the restroom.

"...The (man) stood in front of the stall she was occupying while breathing heavily and moaning," Evesham police said in a Facebook post. She could see his boots under the stall door.

Investigators reviewed surveillance video that shows the man standing around the women’s restroom and following her into the bathroom, police said. He left a short time after the incident.

Anyone who recognizes the man in the blue shirt or has more information about the incident is asked to contact Evesham police at 856-983-1116 or Facebook@Eveshampd.org. Anonymous tips can be left at 856-983-4699 or by texting ETPDTIP to 847411.

Bed Bath & Beyond has yet to respond to NBC10's request for comment.

High school students are falling victim to gambling. While apps are advertised as free, they pull some young people in with in-app purchases where real money can be exchanged for points and credits. It's something all parents should be watching out for, counselors say.

A man in a bucket hat exposed himself to a woman running on a popular Montgomery County trail. Pennsylvania State Police hope a sketch and description helps them track down the suspect.

The man exposed himself to the woman around 5:30 p.m. last Tuesday as she ran along the Perkiomen Trail near Hendricks Road and Baghurst Drive in Upper Salford Township, state police said Monday.

The man, who appear to be in his late 20s to early 30s, stands around 5-foot, 9-inches tall and weighs just under 200 pounds, had a unique look to him:

He had on a khaki bucket hat, white tank top, red shorts and a black backpack, the victim told state police from the Skippack station. He also had a "discolored front tooth," police said.

Anyone with information about the incident or who recognizes the man in the hat is asked to contact police at 610-584-1250.

Vaccines are meant to keep people healthy, but where on the body they are administered can make the difference between helping and harming.

SIRVA, an acronym for shoulder injury related to vaccine administration, is caused by the injection of a vaccine into the tissue underneath the shoulder’s deltoid muscle, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Putting an injection there instead of inside the muscle can result in severe pain and even loss of motion in the arm. For some patients, those symptoms can result in lifelong pain.

Bonnie Gamberdella from Allentown, Pennsylvania, is one of those people. She received a routine flu shot in 2015 and now has a hard time cooking, cleaning even blow-drying her hair. Raising her arm feels next to impossible and causes her excruciating discomfort.

“It just stretches and pulls and hurts,” she told NBC10. “It’s very hard to have to live with something that you know is never going to get better.”

SIRVA is so common that a special vaccine court within the U.S. Court of Federal Claims has been created to hear these types of claims. To date, about $4 billion has been paid out to 6,000 patients with vaccine issues, according to the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. And the total number of claims are increasing every year. In 2011, there were 386 claims compared to 1,234 last year, according to the program.

During that same time frame, SIRVA cases jumped from 9 to 602.

“Most cases go unreported and that is a problem,” Christina Cavanaugh, clinical manager at Hahnemann Hospital’s emergency department, told NBC10.

Symptoms - including pain, swelling and immobility - typically develop within 48 hours. Patients diagnosed with SIRVA must show six months of continuous symptoms before their case can be heard in court. When it is, patients do not have to prove negligence just causation, attorney Max Muller said.

“A lot of these are life altering injuries that cause ... serious impairment and future disabilities,” he said.

Gamberdella is still waiting for her settlement money. In the meantime, sleeping and moving are both painful activities. She wants others to know that her injury is not a result of what was in the vaccine, but instead how it was administered.

“How are you gonna solve somebody getting a bad flu shot if you don’t inform them that they did it wrong?” she asked.

For readers worried about getting their flu shots and similar vaccines, Cavanaugh has a few tips to ensure shots are delivered in the right location.

First, make sure that you and the person administering the shot are either sitting or standing at the same level. Also, relax your arm muscles. Do not flex. If you experience intense swelling or pain, head straight back to the doctor’s office.

It’s the time of year where warmth, fronts and humidity meet up and trigger severe storms across the Delaware Valley. Much like this past Saturday, we’re expecting another round of strong to severe storms to develop in the afternoon and evening Tuesday.

The NBC10 First Alert Team has issued a First Alert as a result. The First Alert is in effect from 4 p.m. to midnight and includes the entire region.

A cold front will approach the area by Tuesday afternoon, acting as the trigger to fire off a line of quick moving and powerful storms. The largest threat with these storms will be damaging winds (60+ mph) and intense lightning. Hail and heavy downpours are also likely, and an isolated tornado cannot be ruled out (although less likely). Anywhere that heavy rain falls could cause ponding along roadways as well.

Several factors will impact the strength of these storms. First, a round of storms may pass the region Monday night and early Tuesday morning—keeping clouds around and pulling some of the moisture from the atmosphere.

These storms are more likely over the southern edge of the region. As a result, these areas may not see as dangerous or as widespread of storm development in the afternoon Tuesday. Another factor? The temperatures. Warm air acts as fuel for strong storms. Tuesday is expected to be very hot and humid—highs are forecast in the mid to upper 80s across the map. The warmer the air, the more likely the strong to severe storms.

At this point, we believe the entire area could see thunderstorms with scattered severe cells. The area most likely to experience more widespread severe weather, however, is along the I-95 corridor upward north and west (including the Lehigh Valley, Berks Co., PA Suburbs, and Mercer Co.).

The best way to stay safe is to be weather wise! Watch updates with each of our newscasts as our team of meteorologists closely tracks the storms’ development, and keep your NBC10 App on alert. It will let you know when heavy rain or lightning is near you.

Get ready for a smoother commute but not before construction along busy Lincoln Drive leads to some closures and detours.

Work on the road running through Fairmount Park, a stretch besieged by potholes, began late Monday night.

The project includes various roadway, pedestrian and traffic improvements to Lincoln Drive between Ridge and Wayne avenues.

Roads will be milled and resurfaced, the guide rail and median barrier will be replaced and overall drainage improvements will be made.

In addition, the retaining wall just north of Forbidden Drive will receive a new architectural finish and the Philadelphia Water Department will replace a storm water sewer at Harvey Street.

Traffic improvements to the area will include traffic signal mast arms and poles at multiple intersections. 

Upgrades that impact pedestrians include an asphalt walking path that will extend north of Wissahickon Avenue between Lincoln Drive and Rittenhouse Street and ADA curb ramps at all intersections along the section of Lincoln Drive being restored.

The streets department is asking for drivers to be patient during the restoration project. Crews will need to work during the day and night, and traffic flow is expected to be impacted as follows:

• Travel lanes will remain open during morning and evening rush hours.
• Work taking place between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m. should have minimal impact on morning rush traffic.
• Temporary single-lane closures north of Wissahickon Avenue may happen within the work area during the off-peak daytime hours of 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
• Overnight work from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. will involve full roadway closures with signed detour routes in place.

The $12.1-million project — funded 80 percent by federal money and 20 percent by city money — is expected to be fully completed by the end of 2019.

Some local business owners, especially ones that deliver, are worried about the impact the project could have on them.

"I'm kind of glad that they are resurfacing it but it's going to impact our business for our delivery drivers," Toto's Pizza owner Giuseppe Afflisio told NBC10. 

Philadelphia police are working to determine whether a viral video that appears to show a car hitting a person riding a bike is real or fake.

The short clip, which has been viewed more than 300,000 times, was posted on social media on May 10. It shows a car veering to the right and then striking a bicycle, knocking the cyclist to the ground. The video then ends.

Police received the video Monday and spent hours looking over it to determine its authenticity. They believe it was filmed on Florence Avenue between 52nd and 53rd streets in the Kingsessing section of Philadelphia. So far no one has come forward claiming to be a victim or involved in the incident.

“We have no reports of auto accidents. We have no reports of hospital cases but if there’s somebody out there who was struck by a car...please come forward and let us know,” Philadelphia Police Lt. John Walker said.

Lt. Walker also said that if the video is a prank, police still want the person who recorded it to let them know.

NBC10 reached out to the person who first posted the video on Twitter but he did not want to comment.

The investigation comes after a cyclist was struck and killed by an SUV in the Spring Garden section of Philadelphia over the weekend. Police say if the viral video is real, the driver could be charged with aggravated assault. They continue to investigate.

A Ride of Silence is scheduled to take place in Philadelphia Wednesday to honor cyclists who have been hurt or killed in accidents.
