A New Jersey woman is charged with driving while intoxicated and reckless driving after she allegedly crashed into the first floor of a home in Egg Harbor Township last weekend. 

Police say 43-year-old Patricia L. Adams, of Mays Landing, was driving on School House Road Saturday around 12:35 a.m. when she lost control of her 1997 Ford Explorer. Officials say the vehicle left the road and crashed into the first floor of the home before rolling multiple times. 

Neither Adams nor anyone inside the house were hurt. The crash caused severe structural damage to the home.

Police say Adams was taken into custody for DWI and after being processed, was released in accordance with John's Law and issued multiple motor vehicle summonses. 

A memorial will be held Sunday for a 16-year-old girl who died following a fight with other girls at a Wilmington, Delaware high school.

Loved ones of Amy Joyner-Francis are invited to offer condolences to her family on Sunday, May 1 between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. at St. Paul AUME Church on 3114 N. Market Street in Wilmington. Family members say there will be no viewing during the event and all other services will be private.

Howard High School of Technology, where Joyner-Francis attended, is also holding two meetings for parents in the wake of her death.

Howard High School of Technology principal Stanley Spoor notified parents of the meetings in a recorded phone message Sunday. The school is breaking up the meetings by grade, with meetings on Tuesday and Wednesday nights at 7 p.m. They will be for parents only, Spoor said.

The school has been inundated with calls from concerned parents after Joyner-Francis died following a fistfight in the girl's restroom Thursday morning.

Police are investigating the fight and death and would not comment on Monday about whether they plan to file charges.

Joyner-Francis complained of head and chest pain after the fight in the school's first-floor women's room. She lost consciousness, police said, before EMS arrived. A school resource officer performed CPR until medics got there. Joyner-Francis was flown to a nearby hospital where she died.

Students held several vigils for their friend and classmate who they described as a peacemaker and caring person.

A small memorial service was held outside school Monday morning by students as they arrived for class.

School officials have yet to decide when they would hold a school-wide memorial service for Joyner-Francis, Spoor said.

A young woman died after a tractor-trailer fell onto her vehicle on the Pennsylvania Turnpike in Bensalem Monday afternoon. The deadly wreck left the roadway closed into Tuesday.

The accident occurred in the eastbound lanes of the Turnpike near Trevose Road. An 18-year-old woman was trapped in the vehicle underneath the tractor trailer. She later died from her injuries. Crews had to use a crane to lift the tractor-trailer off her car.

Officials initially said other passengers were trapped inside the vehicle as well. They later told NBC10 however the woman who died was the only person inside the car. The Bucks County coroner told NBC10 the woman was from New Jersey though officials have not yet revealed her identity pending the notification of her family.

The big rig driver was also injured in the crash and taken to Frankford Torresdale Hospital where he was treated for non-life-threatening injuries. Officials also say the tractor-trailer was carrying 20,000 pounds of either liquid detergent or soap.

All eastbound lanes were closed on the Turnpike at the scene of the crash for hours as crews investigated. One lane reopened around 2 a.m. and all lanes reopened by 4 a.m., said Pennsylvania State Police.

One side of Church Street at West Chester University explodes into a chant of "We choose love."

The other side of the street responds with a chant of "If you want free education, join the Army."

The divided politics of America arrived Monday in this Chester County college town, where Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump spoke at 4 p.m.

"You vote for him, you're setting women back 50 years," said West Chester junior Nicole Whitney, 21.

"He is promoting supporters' mean, cruel, and violent behavior. That's not what West Chester University stands for."

Hundreds lined both sides of South Church Street, with many on one sidewalk waiting in a line two blocks long to get into Hollinger Field House for the Trump speech.

Many wore Trump pins and "Make America Great Again" baseball caps.

On the anti-Trump sidewalk, a majority of the protesters were college students.

Others like George and Libby Hill, retirees from Pottstown, sat in a grassy plaza outside Lloyd C. Mitchell Hall, watching the politics in action.

Both recently switched party affiliation from Democrat to Republican so they could vote tomorrow in the Pennsylvania primary for Trump.

Libby Hall, 73, said she'd been a Democrat since she first voted - for John F. Kennedy. "This protest is nothing," she said. "We lived through Vietnam, and the Bay of Pigs."

Trump supporter, Kyle Hardin, 25, of Eddystone, came to see His choice in person. He said he hails from a military family, and likes Trump message of making America great.

"We have fought for this," said Hardin, who added that his brother, Army Spc. Kevin Michael Hardin, was wounded in Iraq in 2007 and has since died. "I just believe everyone has to earn what they get."

His friend, Sean Roscioli, 27, of West Chester, said the animus felt along South Church Street Monday afternoon isn't necessarily a bad thing. He said he's a Ted Cruz supporter interested in hearing what the front runner Trump has to say. "Everyone's entitled to their own opinion," he said, waiting in line. "You need to have a broad spectrum of opinions."

George Hill, 73, a former truck driver, said Trump's wildly divergent approach from Washington D.C.'s political elites is what makes him the choice of many across the country. "It doesn't matter what party you're with," the longtime blue-collar Democrat-turned-Republican said. "We gotta get rid of all these old farts."

A fugitive wanted for allegedly gunning down the man at the center of a controversial police brutality case has been charged in the killing, the victim's family confirms to NBC10.

Khalil Henderson, 22, was arrested Friday and charged with murder, illegal possession of a firearm and related charges in the death of Najee Rivera, court records show.

Dina Scannapieco, Rivera's girlfriend, learned about the arrest from homicide detectives Monday. The couple would've celebrated their fifth anniversary today, she said.

"I was pretty sad earlier until I heard the news," she said. "Now I am so happy that I can finally let him rest in peace and justice will be served."

Rivera, 23, was shot during a street fight at C and Somerset streets in Philadelphia's Kensington section in December. He died 15 days later at Temple University Hospital.

Rivera died a few months before two Philadelphia police officers were put on trial for allegedly assaulting him during a May 2013 traffic stop. The run-in was caught on surveillance video uncovered by Scannapieco.

The officers, Sean McKnight and Kevin Robinson, said they used force to subdue Rivera. A jury acquitted them earlier this month.

Henderson is due in court for a preliminary hearing on May 11. Attorney information for him was not immediately available.

Friends and family are mourning a 15-year-old girl who died from her injuries after she was struck by a car in Washington Township, Gloucester County over the weekend.

Police say Gavyn Connolly of Sicklerville, New Jersey was walking across State Highway 42 near Shoppers Lane around 8 p.m. Saturday when she was struck by a 2011 Toyota Yaris traveling southbound. Connolly was taken to the Cooper University Trauma center where she died from her injuries Monday.

The driver of the striking vehicle was not injured during the incident. No charges have been filed though police continue to investigate.

Connolly attended Timber Creek Regional High School. Several of her friends and classmates expressed their condolences on social media following her death and stated they planned on wearing the color purple in her honor on Tuesday.

A 2-year-old girl died early Monday morning after she was found injured inside a Bucks County home.

Bucks County District Attorney David Heckler told NBC10 Athena Wolfe suffered blunt force injuries at a home on the 1400 block of Sweetbriar Drive in Falls Township, Pennsylvania Sunday afternoon. Wolfe was taken to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia where she died from her injuries at 6:57 a.m. Monday.

Investigators have not yet determined a cause of death though they say it was “suspicious.” Officials say Wolfe’s mother and her mother’s boyfriend both live at the home where she was injured.

An autopsy on the young girl is scheduled for Tuesday. Police continue to investigate.

A New Jersey man with a mental illness was arrested for allegedly assaulting a priest in a Newark church, police said. 

The 33-year-old suspect, of East Orange, allegedly entered St. Mary's Parish on Martin Luther King Boulevard Monday morning and slugged the Rev. Edwin Leahy in the face. 

Other priests and parishioners chased after the suspect as he ran off and spotted him approaching Broad and Market streets, the Newark Department of Public Safety said in a statement. 

The group flagged down two police officers, who arrested the suspect. 

Leahy said that he wasn't badly injured in the attack and said he was more worried about the attacker, who authorities said had failed to take medications.

"They don't have anybody to make sure they've taken medication so you wind up with people off medication," he said. "All kinds of things happen."

Another priest, the Rev. Philip Waters, said he saw the attack just inside the church's doorway. He said he could tell that the attacker wasn't mentally sound.

"I could see he wasn't right," he said. "You don't even need a medical degree to see that."

The attacker was charged with assault and held on an outstanding warrant without bail, police said.

Surveillance cameras rolled as a woman strolled up to a private residence near East Passyunk Ave in South Philly. With her own items in hand, she quickly swapped them for a package near the front door and fled.

The goods were taken from a home on the 1900 block of South Camac Street on April 11 around 5 p.m.

A short period of time passed and the woman returned to get her items, with the package -- now open -- but she was scared off by a neighbor.

Fluid replacement and exercise

Sport and athletic associations have stopped promoting the old mantra of "drink as much as possible." Instead, they have stressed the importance of proper fluid intake before, during, and after exercise.

How your body maintains fluid balance

The amount of water and salt in our bodies is balanced by an intricate system of hormones regulated by the kidneys and nervous system. During exercise, we increase our heart rate and the volume of blood pumped out of the heart with each beat. This is called cardiac output. With strenuous exercise, cardiac output can increase from 5-25 quarts per minute. Our bodies need a full tank of salt and water within our bloodstream to make this happen.

Meanwhile, as body temperature rises during exercise, we sweat to release the heat. Also, we breathe faster and harder, which causes more water loss. The body's response to the fluid loss is to tell our kidneys to hold on to all of the fluid they can. One of the key hormones that makes this happen is called ADH, or anti-diuretic hormone. ADH levels rise in response to fluid loss by telling the kidneys not to excrete water. So the amount of water relative to salt content in the blood rises, lowering the concentration of sodium.

How much water should you drink?

Attention to proper hydration starts before you exercise. Drink 16 ounces of fluid over 15-30 minutes, ending two hours prior to your planned exercise start time. If you have been eating normally with at least a little salt, then plain water is fine. If not, consider a sports drink or adding a pinch of salt and sugar to the water.

For moderate exercise lasting up to an hour, you can usually rely on thirst to drive your fluid intake. The exception is exercising outdoors in very hot or cold weather, when you should drink a little extra beyond thirst.

If you exercise regularly for longer than one hour at a time or plan to compete in a long-distance event, you should make a more accurate assessment of your personal fluid needs. A simple estimate can be made by measuring change in body weight. Empty your bladder and get on the scale in dry clothing. Exercise for one hour at your usual or expected pace. Measure the exact amount of water that you drink during the test hour. Empty your bladder again and dry off any excess sweat. Put on the same dry clothes you wore for the initial weight and get back on the scale.

The amount of fluid you need per hour of exercise equals the number of ounces you drank plus the difference in ending vs. starting weight. (One pound equals 16 ounces of fluid.)

After you finish competing or working out, pay attention to thirst and keep drinking until urine color returns to normal — usually a pale yellow.

Regarding the type of fluid to drink, sports drinks or homemade solutions with a little sugar and salt are not necessary unless you plan to exercise for more than a couple of hours. Some people, however, feel more energized using these drinks with even less strenuous workouts.

Three girls, considered persons of interest, could face charges by week's end in a high school fight that left a Delaware teenager dead.

Wilmington Police Chief Bobby Cummings told a group at a meeting in the wake of Howard High School of Technology student Amy Joyner-Francis' death that he hoped to bring "closure" to the case, reported Delaware Online.

Joyner-Francis complained of head and chest pain after the fight with at least two other girls in the school's first-floor women's room. The 16-year-old lost consciousness, police said, before EMS arrived. A school resource officer performed CPR until medics got there. Joyner-Francis was flown to a nearby hospital where she died.

Some questions from concerned parents and the community remain unanswered after Joyner-Francis died following a fistfight in the girl's restroom Thursday morning.

"We did not want to rush to judgment," Cummings said. "We would rather take our time to conduct this investigation the proper way. Charges will be filed, and individuals will be held accountable for their actions." [[377009721, C]]

The medical examiner's report on the girl's death remained pending Tuesday.

Howard High School of Technology principal Stanley Spoor notified parents of meetings about the deadly incident in a recorded phone message Sunday. The school is breaking up the meetings in the school auditorium by grade, with meetings on Tuesday and Wednesday nights at 7 p.m. They will be for parents only, Spoor said.

Students held several vigils for their friend and classmate who they described as a peacemaker and caring person. [[377043171, C]]

A small memorial service was held outside school Monday morning by students as they arrived for class. There were no classes Tuesday because of Election Day.

School officials have yet to decide when they would hold a school-wide memorial service for Joyner-Francis, Spoor said. [[376815281, C]]

Loved ones of Joyner-Francis are invited to offer condolences to her family on Sunday, May 1 between 5 and 8 p.m. at St. Paul AUME Church on 3114 N. Market Street in Wilmington. Family members say there will be no viewing during the event and all other services will be private.
